George III r. 1760-1820

James Gillray (1757-1815) was among the most
popular, prolific, revered, and reviled print satirists
of the golden age of
English caricature, the late eighteenth century.
He took special delight in
attacking the excesses of the royal family.
Here, he caustically depicts King
George III, Queen Charlotte, and the Prince of Wales (later George IV)
gorging
themselves on the national treasury, labelled "John Bull's Blood."
The title,
"Monstrous Craws," refers to the rapidly expanding gullets dangling from the
royal necks,
probably inspired by the recent public display in London
of three
"wild-born human beings," who apparently exhibited such features.
