A Decent Story - A Captivating Glimpse into Georgian Sociability
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured etching, "A Decent Story" published by Hannah Humphrey in 1795, offers a delightful window into the vibrant social scene of Georgian England. Created by the renowned caricaturist James Gillray and based on a rough sketch by the amateur Rev. John Sneyd, this print captures a lively gathering filled with laughter and merriment.
