This print, 'The Uproar House,' pokes fun at London’s high society in 1813. It’s a sharp satire from the magazine *The Satirist*, carved in ink by W.H. Brooke. Romanticism’s bold energy shows up in the exaggerated scenes. The image was meant to make readers laugh at the absurd rules of polite life. Prints like this one spread gossip and jokes fast in Regency England. Next time you’re in London, visit the Victoria and Albert Museum to see it yourself. museum: Victoria and Albert Museum
