Satirical print of a group of dissolute upper class men in fine clothes and top hats, drunkenly making their way home from \u201ca public dinner.” They are all wearing gold medallions dangling from their belts, evidently an emblem of an organization their contemporaries would readily identify. One has collapsed in front of a building plastered with posters for plays at the Theatre Royal at Covent Garden, whose titles sardonically comment on the action: \u201cThe Blue Devils,\u201d \u201cLove\u2019s Labour Lost,\u201d \u201cThe Road to Ruin\u201d and \u201cFortune\u2019s Frolic.” Three night watchmen in long brown coats and flat hats have encountered the group, one holding the fallen man, the other two looking alarmed as a grinning drunk takes a swing at them. A heavyset man is dancing with a woman, probably a prostitute, while her companion picks his pocket, having already stolen his medallion, which she holds in her upraised hand. Theodore Lane\u2019s original pencil sketch for this print, made in 1824, is in the collection of the Museum of London (see References below). The print itself has been collected by numerous British institutions.<\/p>\n

Theodore Lane was a genre painter and engraver during his brief career, which ended when he died in an accident at age 28. He specialized in portraits and humorous genre subjects, with which he had great success. His works are in British museums such as the Tate Gallery and the Museum of London.<\/p>\n

George Hunt was a British engraver, active in London during the 1820s, when he produced humorous engravings after the work of M. Egerton for the publisher Thomas McLean.<\/p>\n
