England
Page is an England Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Page was the guy who turned actors into instant memes. In 1824 he carved Mr Liston as Maw-Worm, a grinning, wide-eyed villain in a wig so stiff it looks like it’s plotting something, and suddenly every gossip sheet in London wanted a copy. He printed them fast, cheap, and with real bite; no fancy frames, just the joke delivered straight to the pub wall.
Look up “The Hypocrite print” in the H Beard collection, the sharpest laugh you’ll find from Regency theatre.
