Zeven karikaturale scènes 1832

"Zeven karikaturale scènes" is a satirical print by Robert Seymour, created in 1832 and depicting seven humorous scenes of daily life. The work is a fine example of English caricature, a popular genre of the 19th century that used exaggeration and distortion to mock social customs, political figures, and contemporary events. Seymour’s sharp wit and detailed illustrations made him a leading figure in this artistic movement. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a fascinating glimpse into the humor and social commentary of 19th-century British society.
