Mary Robinson's affairs with the rich and famous kept her in the eye of the political cartoonists of the day.

"Florizel and Perdita", a contemporary magazine satire, shows the two former lovers, with Mary's menagerie of other flames in the background -- including Banastre, identifiable by his helmet.

"Driving Perdita", which appeared after the breakup of Mary's relationship with Prinny, during the "negotiations" for the return of his love letters. The Prince drives Mary's carriage, while her husband, Thomas -- still around, if mostly forgotten -- rides in back, reminding her of the cash she's been promised. The amiable and useless Lord North takes a nap on top of the carriage, with his head cushioned by the soft pillow of royal favor.

Perdito and Perdita, the Man and Woman of the People. (Mary and Charles James Fox.)

A satire based on the famous painting of General Wolfe's death. Charles James Fox stands in for Wolfe, while various political lights of the time (including North) crowd around. Mary offers smelling salts to Fox while Prinny kisses her hand.

Other satires featuring Mary appear in Fox's bionote and "The Thunderer."
