A print depicting the funeral of Caroline of Brunswick, estranged wife of King George IV and the violence that ensued. Caroline died weeks after being refused entry to her husband’s coronation. Due to widespread hatred of the king, Caroline had become popular due to the knowledge that the king had treated her badly. When she died her funeral procession from Hammersmith turned into a riotous demo across London. It erupted into fighting, and two working men, carpenter Richard Honey and George Francis, a bricklayer, were shot dead by soldiers in Hyde Park.
