SEVEN DECADES

by Steven Hager

This 1787 print satirizes the Queen of England, the Prince of Wales, and King George III gorging themselves at the British Treasury, filling their craws with gold at the expense of everyday citizens. George III had lost the American colonies a few years earlier and was showing growing signs of madness, which would see him descend into dementia for the last 10 years of his reign —  proving it’s never too early to get rid of royal wannabes.
