"Fox en de Prins van Wales, 1783" is a satirical print by John Boyne, depicting Charles James Fox shaking hands with a caricatured King George III. Created in 1783, it was published by W. Holland and features the inscription "There is a gentleman in this Town, Sir Thomas, &c." and "Falstaff. I'll give you a thousand pound, next time you make bold to come." The artwork humorously critiques the political climate, using Shakespearean characters to represent figures of the time. The print reflects the social and political commentary common in 18th-century British art.
