About this work

The painting shows a man standing near a big fire. He's burning books and papers. The man is John Boydell, a publisher who tried to make a lot of money from Shakespeare's plays. This painting is funny because it makes fun of Boydell's big project. It didn't work out well for him. Check out the work of artist: Gillray, James.
