Abstract

[This chapter offers an example of how a business-, profit-, and production-led approach can be usefully deployed to interpret satirical prints about a particular event or theme. It focuses on satirical responses to the Mary Anne Clarke affair: a turn of the nineteenth-century scandal concentrated on revelations that the Duke of York—Clarke’s sometime lover—was complicit in having received payments in exchange for naval promotions. Through this episode I explore how and in what ways business exigencies shaped satirical designs and I tease at the strategies used by Isaac Cruikshank in the spring and summer of 1809 to develop work of appeal to metropolitan publishers and sellers of satirical prints.]
