This print shows a scene of two public houses, one called "The Mother Red Cap" and the other "The King's Head". The print is interesting because it pokes fun at the British public's preference for Queen Caroline over King George IV. This was a big deal back then, as the king and queen were not getting along. You can learn more about satire in art by looking at the work of artist: Cruikshank, George.
