Artist
John Donaldson
John Donaldson is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This 18th-century artist made hand-colored prints that mixed news and humor. One of them, H Beard Print Collection (1st April 1783), pokes fun at the day’s politics with exaggerated faces and crowd scenes. These sheets were sold in London coffeehouses where readers debated the week’s scandals. Tap into the print’s crowd to see how the artist turned gossip into quick, colorful satire.
