Vanity Fair caricature: Sovereigns, No. 2, woman with crown and suitcase

A colored caricature from the Vanity Fair Sovereigns series shows a woman wearing a jeweled crown and a dark cloak patterned with white stars, clutching a worn leather suitcase. She stands before a hazy landscape, and the printed caption beneath reads that she has been betrayed by those who should have been most faithful to her.
