A Prince of the Old School
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous depiction of a gentleman from the Georgian era, published by Hannah Humphrey in 1800. This hand-coloured etching, created by James Gillray, offers a satirical commentary on proper manners and social etiquette during that time. The full-length portrait showcases an immaculately dressed male figure exuding elegance and pompousness. With his parasol held high and his posture impeccable, he embodies the epitome of respectability. The artist's caricature style adds a touch of humor to this portrayal, highlighting the exaggerated deportment and mores of society. This print draws inspiration from Lord Chesterfield's letters, which emphasized the importance of refined behavior in polite society. It serves as both a reflection and critique of the strict codes governing social interactions during this period. Gillray's skillful engraving captures every detail with precision while infusing it with subtle satire. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an era where appearances were everything and conformity was paramount. Courtesy of New College Oxford's collection, this print provides us with insight into historical attitudes towards gentlemanly conduct. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to entertain viewers while shedding light on societal norms that have evolved over time. As we gaze upon "A Prince of the Old School" we are reminded that even centuries later, human nature continues to be fascinated by caricatures that challenge our notions of propriety and decorum.
