"The Prince at Grass" and "The Prince in Clover" are two notable satirical prints by James Gillray, a British caricaturist and printmaker renowned for his political and social satire. Created in the late 18th century, these works are part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre that critiqued and commented on the political landscape and societal norms of his time. James Gillray, active during the Georgian era, is often considered one of the forefathers of political cartooning, with his works characterized by their sharp wit, intricate detail, and unapologetic critique of figures of authority.

"The Prince at Grass" and "The Prince in Clover" specifically target George, Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV. The prints are emblematic of Gillray's critical perspective on the Prince's extravagant lifestyle, financial irresponsibility, and the perceived moral laxity of the Hanoverian royalty. Through these works, Gillray not only showcases his artistic skill but also his ability to weave complex political and social critiques into his art.

In "The Prince at Grass," Gillray presents the Prince of Wales in a state of financial and moral destitution, a commentary on the Prince's well-known debts and his requests for parliamentary grants to cover his extravagant expenditures. Conversely, "The Prince in Clover" depicts the Prince in a scenario of opulence and excess, possibly reflecting on the eventual parliamentary assistance he received or the general indulgence of his lifestyle at the expense of the public purse. Together, these prints offer a nuanced critique of the Prince's character and his role within the broader societal and political issues of late 18th-century Britain.

Gillray's work remains significant in the history of political satire, offering insight into the political tensions and cultural landscapes of his time. "The Prince at Grass" and "The Prince in Clover" stand as testament to Gillray's legacy, demonstrating the enduring power of visual satire to comment on and critique figures of power and societal norms. Through these prints, Gillray's influence persists, highlighting the role of satire in shaping public discourse and political critique.
