The Union Club is a color engraving from 1801 by an engraver named Williams, and its title points to the political climate of that year. The Acts of Union had joined Great Britain and Ireland into one kingdom on January 1, 1801, and British satirical prints of this period often took up such questions of politics and national identity. The record comes from the British Cartoon Prints Collection, though its details are unverified, so the exact subject and satirical target should be checked against the print itself or a reference catalog.
