OriginalGioachino Rossini meets George IV of the United Kingdom at Brighton.
Reason
It's from a pre-photographic era, so it being an illustration is expected. It does a good job of showing Rossini's sphere of influence; illustrates his time in Britain in an interesting way, and is a pretty good example of that late 18th/early 19th century caricature that highly popular at the time. There's some nice details to it, like the crowd behind them. The vertical space is a little empty, but on the acceptable side.
