Maria II, de jure Queen of Portugal, holding an audience for her Portuguese subjects in exile in London, although more interested in a Punch & July show behind.

Pub by T. McLean 16 Haymarket Caricatures daily publishing. [Dec. 1828.]
Hand-coloured etching with large margins. Plate 260 x 375mm (10¼ x 14¾").
Satire on the visit to London of Maria II of Portugal. George IV, dressed as a little boy, faces the nine-year old Maria across a small table covered with sweetmeats, with Wellington and Peel as servants behind them. Peel holds a dish of Candid Orange Peel surmounted by a large crown. On the table besides other sweets are boxes of Sugar Plumbs and Bulls Eyes, and slabs of Ally Campane. During the Portuguese Succession crisis in which Miguel I usurped the young queen (his nephew), Maria travelled to several European courts, including London, in search of support. Miguel is repesented here by a battered doll lying on the floor, labelled 'uncle Mig'.

[Maria II of Portugal] Majesty & Grace. As his Grace stoop'd to press the Royal hand to his lips - Her Majesty in the most playful and condescending manner lay'd hold of his Nose - with her Royal finger and thumb - His Grace with his usual brevity and decision acknowledged the high honor done him.

Etching with fine hand colour. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"). Trimmed to plate on right.
The little Queen of Portugal, as a child of two or three, stands on tiptoe to grasp the nose of Wellington, who bows low and supports her raised arm. In her right hand she brandishes a rattle. Over her childish frock is a long train, supported by two grinning negro pages with misshapen legs. A coral and bells hangs at her side, and a long bib or pinafore is decorated with the Portuguese Arms and crown. A very stout lady-in-waiting walks behind them, wearing a ruff and feathered hat; she carries a black doll; behind her and on the extreme left is a Portuguese courtier also holding a toy, a cock on a pair of breeches. The seven-year-old Queen Maria II of Portugal, usurped by her uncle Miguel in 1828, toured European cities to gain support, much to Wellington's embarrassment due to his unwillingness to help. She regained the throne in 1834.
