EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of the vibrant and indulgent world of Georgian amateur dramatics. Published by Hannah Humphrey in 1803, this hand-coloured etching by James Gillray offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the preparations for a performance by the Pic Nic Society. In this lively scene, we witness an array of eccentric characters getting ready for their roles. Lady Buckinghamshire takes center stage, exuding elegance and confidence. Lord Cholmondely dons the guise of Cupid while Sir Lumley Skeffington transforms into a mischievous harlequin. Lord Kirkcudbright adds his own touch of humor as he dresses up as a jester. Amidst all the frivolity, Lady Salisbury captivates attention with her seductive boot-pulling gesture. Musicians play enchanting melodies in anticipation of the upcoming spectacle. This print showcases not only the theatrical aspect but also highlights social satire prevalent during that era. It depicts dressing tables adorned with props and makeup brushes while emphasizing caricature-like features on each character's face. The engraving captures both drama and dance intertwined with music and singing—a true celebration of artistic expression within society's upper echelons during Hanoverian times. With its detailed portrayal of costume, dissolute behavior, reciting lines, cavorting dancers, and chorus declaiming dialogue—this artwork serves as an insightful commentary on indulgence within amateur
