H Beard Print Collection is a 2 by Matthias Darly, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print by Matthias Darly was made in London in 1772. It’s a satirical look at fashions of the day. The image pokes fun at men’s flamboyant styles. Called “The Catgut Macaroni,” it’s part of the Romanticism movement. That means it’s more about humor and social critique than grand emotions. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum online if you want to see more of these prints.
