Twee Fransen in London Possibly 1822 - 1826

"Twee Fransen in London", a hand-colored etching by George Cruikshank, satirizes the cultural differences between England and France. Created sometime between 1822 and 1826, the print depicts a group of people on a London street, with two French men interacting in an exaggeratedly formal manner. The artwork highlights the humor of cultural misunderstandings through its caricatured depiction of both English and French social customs. It is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam and measures 260 mm x 350 mm.
