This article explores a selection of visual and material commemorations of the Margaret Nicholson affair of 1786. Contextualizing the response to the affair within a broader story of spectacle and sensibility, it demonstrates that the cultural power and profusion of Nicholson, the would-be assassin of King George III, were driven by her contravention of expectations surrounding gender, class, and madness. Along with visual analysis of surviving representations of Nicholson, the article questions how the commercial materialization of the Nicholson scandal related to issues surrounding eighteenth-century experience, identity, and health.

丑闻的纪念品：纪念玛格丽特尼科尔森事件

本文探讨了 1786 年玛格丽特尼科尔森事件的一系列视觉和物质纪念活动。将对事件的反应置于更广泛的奇观和情感故事中，它表明尼科尔森的文化力量和丰富多彩，尼科尔森的潜在刺客乔治三世 (King George III) 因违反对性别、阶级和疯狂的期望而受到驱使。除了对尼科尔森幸存的形象进行视觉分析外，本文还质疑尼科尔森丑闻的商业化如何与围绕 18 世纪的经历、身份和健康相关的问题相关联。
