This print shows Tom Sheridan and his father Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The scene is a commentary on the son inheriting his father's virtues. It's interesting that the print was published in London by S. W. Fores, which was a common way to share satire and social commentary at the time. You can learn more about this style of printmaking by looking at the work of artist: Cruikshank, Isaac.
