Satire on Frederick, Prince of Wales, and his marriage to Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, based in reverse on Hogarth's "Henry the Eighth and Anne Boleyn". Scene in a palace where the Prince leads his bride, dressed in Van Dyck costume, towards the empty throne, beside which sits a melancholy Walpole (in the place of Hogarth's Wolsey); in the background the Prince's mistress Anne Vane takes the place of Katherine of Aragon; leaning against her is her young son, Cornwall Fitz-Frederick Vane, wearing a hat with the Prince of Wales's feathers and holding a toy windmill in allusion to the Old Pretender (see, for instance, BM Satires 1164).  1735-36
