Romanticism 18th Century Genre Scene

About this work

This print shows a lively scene from a funny old play called *Jobson and Nell*. Benjamin Cole carved the image in 1753, so it’s over 270 years old. It illustrates a moment from a magazine story meant to make readers laugh. Romanticism isn’t about romance here—it’s about everyday humor and drama. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like it.
