Monkey Despot, from Monkey-Ana or Men, in Miniature 1828

"Monkey Despot, from Monkey-Ana or Men, in Miniature" is an 1828 etching by British artist Thomas Landseer. The print satirizes King George IV of England, depicted as a monkey wearing a crown and ermine robe, holding a scepter and seated on a throne. Landseer’s satirical work was part of a series of humorous illustrations titled "Monkey-Ana" that depicted important political figures as monkeys. This engraving uses caricature, a popular style for political cartoons, to highlight the artist's view of George IV. The print is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
