Loopbaan van een Anglicaanse geestelijke 1791

"The Clerical Excercise" (1791) by Frederick George Byron is a satirical print depicting 24 different poses of Anglican clergymen. Each pose is labeled with a humorous caption, such as "Take leave of your Brethren" and "Look out for a Benefice." Byron's work was published shortly before his death in 1792, and it offers a humorous glimpse into the social and religious landscape of late 18th-century England. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of social history, offering a satirical commentary on the behavior and mannerisms of the clergy, and capturing the spirit of the time through its witty depictions.
