Crank

Crank is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This guy made prints so sharp they could cut you—think 18th-century memes on steroids, full of sneaky politicians and rotten teeth. He hid jokes in every corner, like a dog peeking from behind a curtain. His Beard Print Collection is where he lets his ink do the talking, no fancy words needed. Track down his work and you’ll see why satire never gets old.
