This print by S. W. Fores pokes fun at a messy love triangle in 1825. It shows Maria Foote engaged to Joseph Hayne while also having two children with Colonel Berkeley. The print was published on New Year’s Day and is part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection. If this kind of sharp satire interests you, look up the technique called chiaroscuro.
