This is a print by J.R. Cruickshank from 1823. It shows a man named Mr. Liston dressed as a character called Moll Flaggon. London printers published it that same year. The print is etched, not painted. It’s part of the Harry Beard Collection. The style fits the Romantic era, but it’s a quick look at daily life in the 1800s. Look up another Cruickshank, J.R. print next.
