Schrijver en een uitgever bespreken vertaling 1800

This satirical print by F. Sansom, titled "Every Body Out of Town", depicts two men discussing a translation of Horace. The artist uses humor to comment on the social trends of the time, particularly the preference for light summer reading over serious literature. Created in 1800, this print offers a glimpse into the reading habits and cultural attitudes of the era. The use of caricature and exaggerated features adds to the comedic effect, making this a visually engaging and thought-provoking work.
