EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous political satire from the 18th century. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, it depicts an intriguing scene involving prominent figures such as Charles James Fox and Frederick North, the 2nd Earl of Guilford. The image showcases their playful cross-dressing antics and their indulgence in gambling and drinking.
