This was the year Oscar Wilde toured America, hired by Gilbert \u0026amp; Sullivan’s opera company D’Oly Carte to show America what the Aesthetics movement was all about, so they would get the jokes! Lots of cartoons in various periodicals followed, poking fun at the movement’s perceived artificiality, drama, and impracticality. Refer to photos for size and condition: Very good.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45120968491208,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/2188\/7432\/files\/1C25C210-E2BC-4714-8F31-1F3CCA2A7115.jpg?v=1782034824","url":"https:\/\/rosesandrueantiques.com\/products\/an-aesthetic-monkey-1882-cartoon","provider":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
