メトロポリタン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (メトロポリタン美術館Instagram)「No joke, folks—"Bell and the Dragon" is the actual title of this 1811 etching from @metdrawingsandprints, clearly taking a cue from last week's episode of @gameofthrones. 🐉🔔🔥⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ You might also notice "Lancaster" in the background—in writing #GameofThrones, George R.R. Martin was heavily inspired by the 15th century War of the Roses between the Yorks (Starks) and the Lancasters (Lannisters). But this sketch isn't related to *that* rivalry—the drawing of this fire-breather is a satire on the controversy between Joseph Lancaster (1778–1838) and Dr. Bell (1753–1832) over educational methods during the 1810s. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ ✒️ Thomas Rowlandson (British, 1756–1827).
