Summary

Description
English: "Ah! Sure Such a Pair was Never Seen so Justly Form'd to Meet by Nature": In this iconic caricature, George and Caroline are depicted as a pair of fat green bags, a clear reference to the green bags that contained the evidence collected against Caroline by the Milan commission. George is much fatter than Caroline, and his bag is girded by a garter belt, part of which hangs down in the manner of a limp penis.
