EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Gudgeon Fishing a la Conservatory" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the extravagant world of George IV when he was still Prince Regent at Carlton House. The image captures a humorous scene set in an opulent conservatory, where men and women are engaged in the peculiar activity of fishing for gudgeons. Amidst an atmosphere of elegance and refinement, we see gentlemen and ladies seated around a table adorned with gold plates, engrossed in their pursuit. Their fashionable attire is accentuated by feathers adorning their hats and intricate details on their garments. The women exude femininity through their graceful postures and stylish dresses that reflect the latest fashions of the time. The presence of George IV himself adds an air of royalty to this jovial gathering. As courtiers surround him, it becomes clear that this event is not just about catching small fish but rather a feast fit for nobility. This whimsical print showcases both the extravagance associated with British monarchy during this era as well as its lighthearted sense of humor. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving serves as a testament to the artistic talent prevalent during that period while offering us insight into the leisurely pursuits enjoyed by aristocracy at Carlton House.
