Image description

Queen Charlotte reacts in shock to the news that she has unwittingly donated money to relieve her German countrymen. Her miser's cupboard hangs open, revealing a vast hoard of wealth. Her book, 'Frugal Maxims or the Art of Saving' falls from her lap. Williams portrays the Queen as an avaricious miser, a reputation she found hard to escape during her lifetime. The print references a practical joke played upon Charlotte - her name was added to an appeal for funds, requesting 2,000 guineas be sent to help Germans after the Battle of Leipzig in 1813.
