Vanity Fair Caricature: Sovereigns No. 8, Crowned Man at Table

A colored lithograph caricature shows a bearded man in a jeweled crown and dark military coat, seated at a table with a knife and fork raised over a plate. Red drips stain the white tablecloth, a bottle stands at left, and small figures climb ladders beside the table, while a uniformed figure looms behind holding an orb.
