Framed Satirical Print Real Inhabitants of This Earth – After Bunbury (1796)

Framed satirical print titled Real Inhabitants of This Earth, after Henry William Bunbury, originally etched by George Shepheard and published by Thomas Macklin on January 10th, 1796.

This example is a later reproduction print, not an original antique. The scene shows a British naval officer strolling along a quay with a well-dressed young woman, observing a baggily dressed man and boy, humorously representing contemporary views of Dutch dress and character.
