Society of Antiquaries of London Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, United KingdomExplore the remarkable role of Georgian caricature in the equally remarkable Queen Caroline controversy of 1820–21. The trial of the queen for alleged adultery produced many extraordinary images in which Caroline triumphs over her cowardly and conniving enemies, subverting gender and political hierarchies, and giving a voice to the millions of British men and women who supported her cause.
