Image description

Produced by Charles Williams (active 1796-1830). In a grand, canopied bed lie a sleeping Prince Regent and future King George IV (1762-1830) next to a mountainous Isabella Anne Ingram Shepherd, 2nd Marchioness of Hertford (1760-1834). Characters from George's dream approach the bed, from left to right: statesman and politician Charles James Fox (1749-1806); a ragged Britannia; Erin with a broken harp; Caroline of Brunswick (1768–1821), Princess of Wales from 1795 to 1820; followed by two burly police constables. In front of the dream procession walks a lady in classical draperies with a serpent wrapped around her and a lion.
