This print shows Samuel Richardson and friends in Tunbridge Wells back in 1748. It’s from 1804, printed in London for Richard Phillips. That makes it one of the later Romantic-era prints. The scene captures Richardson with the “remarkable characters” he met that year. It feels like a snapshot of social life from the 1700s. The print is now at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
