EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "National conveniences, 1769" by the renowned artist James Gillray takes us back in time to explore the interior of a bedroom in 18th century Great Britain. The image captures a young woman waking up and attending to her personal needs with an intriguing focus on the advancements in plumbing during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe the beautifully crafted chest of drawers and boudoir surrounding the central piece - a unique toilet chair or closestool. This innovative contraption was considered a convenience for those seeking comfort and privacy while using it. Gillray's artistic style shines through this etching, showcasing his mastery in capturing both realism and satire. Through subtle caricature, he humorously highlights society's fascination with modern amenities such as indoor plumbing. The watercolor technique employed adds depth and vibrancy to every element within the composition, making it visually striking even after all these years.

This particular print belongs to a private collection, serving as a testament to its historical significance.
