"Tregears Black Jokes - The Route" is a single print from the series "Black Jokes," produced by English publisher Gabriel Shear Tregear in the early 19th century. The series, which consists of caricatures that depict scenes from everyday life, was created as a sat and racially stereotyped representation of black people in Britain. "The Route" is one of the standout works from the series and is widely recognized for its engraving by Hunt, accomplished around 1834. Relying heavily on racist imagery to express social critique and humor, this piece is deemed by contemporary scholars as an important artifact to comprehensively study the cultural biases and racial perceptions during its time. It was artist W. Summers who, in the company of various collaborators, engraved the series - yet another testament to the blending of skills which marked the era's print-making industry. Despite the complex and sensitively heavy subject matter it carries, "The Route," like every other piece of art, holds a mirror up to the society and times it was born in, making it a significant component in the historical journey of political satire and caricature art in Britain.
