This print shows a man in a staged role from 1826. Isaac Robert Cruikshank made an etching of Mr. Liston dressed as Paul Pry. It’s part of the Harry Beard Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The print captures a comic stage character popular in early 1800s London. It was published just months after the first play appearance of Paul Pry. Look up the Romanticism movement next.
