'A living teapot stands, one arm held out, one bent, the handle this, and that the spout', c1820. A quote, purportedly from "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope. Satirical cartoon lampooning the exotic tastes of the Prince Regent (future King George IV) who rides in a dragon-shaped boat with peacock feathers. From an album containing portraits and satirical caricatures related to the trial of Queen Caroline (1768-1821, also known as Caroline of Brunswick, consort of King George IV) in 1820.
