This print shows two men acting out a scene from history. It’s a print on paper, made in 1771, so it’s over 250 years old. The mood feels dramatic, matching the Romantic style. The print shows Mr Powell and Mr Bensley playing King John and Hubert from an old story. It’s an allegory, which means it’s using characters to teach a lesson. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
