Royal extinguisher (The)
Cruikshank, Robert, 1789-1856 · April 7, 1821
A caricature of George IV and Queen Caroline and Alderman Wood. George IV (three-quarter length), surrounded by admiring Ministers (Eldon, Sidmouth, Castlereagh, Wellington and Liverpool) holds up a big extinguisher made of paper and inscribed 'Speech from the Throne', which he is about to place over a crowd of tiny Jacobins who surround the Queen and Alderman Wood.
