“The Lover’s Dream.” James Gillray, 1795.
Caroline of Brunswick is swept into the sleeping Prince’s dreams by Hymen, Cupid pulls aside the curtains. George III carries a sack of money, happy to pay off his son’s debts and the Queen carries a book on childbirth. Fox is so shocked he drops his dice, Sheridan attempts to flee in disguise, and Mrs. Fitzherbert and Lady Jersey seem aware their days are numbered.
