About the series
A single, satirical print from 1784 published by Humphrey, The Loves of the Fox and the Badger, or The Coalition Wedding is a masterwork of political caricature by Thomas Rowlandson. It lampoons the unlikely political alliance between Charles James Fox (the Fox) and Lord North (the Badger) through the metaphor of a forced, grotesque marriage. Rowlandson’s biting wit and energetic linework make this a landmark example of 18th-century British visual satire, capturing a pivotal moment in parliamentary history with savage humor.
