This print pokes fun at a real event from 1827. A Hungarian troupe called the Tyrolese met King George IV, and this image turns it into a joke. Philipps made the print on September 2nd, 1827. It’s part of the Victoria and Albert’s Beard Print Collection. The print uses Romantic-era humor to mock royalty and touring performers. Try looking up Romanticism.
