Image description

King George III and the King of Spain negotiate over the Falkland Islands. 'Adjusting their differences' is deliberately titled to portray George and the King of Spain as tailors in a shop adjusting their territorial gains, as a tailor would a piece of cloth. George had from a young age a keen interest in how things worked and taught himself how to make buttons as a hobby. The British public at large poked fun at what was considered an unusual pastime for a King, and in the popular press he was often branded 'Turner' or 'Button Maker'.
