This print shows a theater scene full of clutter and costumes. It pokes fun at a real scandal from 1825 between actor Edmund Kean and a married woman named Charlotte Cox. Published by John Fairburn, the image is part of the Romanticism movement. The artist used satire to expose the messy side of celebrity gossip. The print is now owned by the Victoria and Albert Museum. Want to dig deeper? Look up the artist John Fairburn.
