"Songs: 'When in death I shall calm recline...'" (1822) by Henry Thomas Alken is a satirical print featuring six vignettes, each depicting a different scene. Created during the Regency era in England, the work uses exaggerated caricatures and humorous text to lampoon the social and political issues of the day. The work is a fine example of social commentary through visual art, with its focus on themes such as death, love, and freedom. The print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
