Frying Sprats, Toasting Muffins, 1791
Queen Charlotte and King George III preparing frugal meals. The caption reads: Ah! Sure a pair was never seen...So justly formed to meet by nature!'. The King and Queen's simple tastes were widely known, and became a target for satire during their reign. They were frequently portrayed as miserly and avaricious; Charlotte in particular was severely treated by caricaturists
