EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sell and Repent, 1817" transports us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of English society in the early 19th century.

In this portrait, Hall stands tall and proud, donning a stylish top hat and an elegant overcoat. His profile is sharply outlined against the backdrop, emphasizing his commanding presence. With hands casually tucked into his pockets, he exudes an air of confidence mixed with intrigue. Dighton's masterful use of caricature brings out Hall's distinct personality traits.
