EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century, titled "D--n thee don't play thy tricks with me but bring me the gammon; Vauxhall Gardens, London" offers a satirical glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of one of London's most famous pleasure gardens. The scene depicts a lively dinner setting, where a frustrated diner is seen gesturing towards an absent dish while addressing a mischievous waiter. The artwork showcases the artist's skillful use of caricature and satire to highlight societal issues surrounding food supply during that era. With scathing wit and sharp commentary, this satirical drawing serves as a reminder of how individuals were often at the mercy of unreliable food sources. Vauxhall Gardens itself was renowned for its vibrant entertainment offerings and extravagant feasts. This print captures both the opulence and chaos that would have been characteristic of such gatherings. The attention to detail in this engraving transports viewers back in time, allowing them to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of this iconic London destination. As part of a private collection now housed within Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection, this print continues to captivate audiences with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to the power of art in reflecting social realities while providing us with valuable insights into bygone eras.
