Description |
English: Captain Cla--nce taking Command of the Ship British Constitution (caricature) Hand-coloured. One of two variant versions of a caricature on the occasion of Prince William, Duke of Clarence, acceding to the throne as the 'sailor king' William IV in 1830 on the death of his eldest brother, George IV, and thus coming into the eye of the storm as regards the movement for Parliamentary reform which culminated in the great Reform Act of 1832 (which he supported). William was 65 at the time but in this version he is shown as a much younger man, Queen Adelaide (on the right) whom he married in 1818, when she was 25, being in fact half his age. For the other version see PAF3779. [PvdM 2/15] |
