The British cartoonists of that era- I have Rowlandson and Cruikshank in mind- are often funny even to the modern reader- and they were as unsparing of their own countryman as they were of Napoleon. Somewhere, I once saw a cartoon- I think Cruikshank- showing George III and Queen Charlotte as a farmer and his wife, returning to Windsor from market. It was hilarious, but fundamentally affectionate. Went a long way toward explaining why he was held in such regard by his subjects on the eastern side of the Atlantic. |
