This print by Isaac Robert Cruikshank makes fun of a real scandal. It shows a man riding a deer while a crowd points and laughs. The scene pokes at an affair between Thomas Garth and Georgiana Caroline Dashwood. The print came out in July 1827. It’s part of the Romanticism movement, which often used humor in art. If you like this kind of sharp satire, check out more works at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
