EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "Scotch Politics: To be read backward, like a Witch's Prayer," captures a satirical scene from the 18th century. Three figures are depicted in a shop filled with an array of objects such as pots, bottles, books, scrolls, and drums. The central figure is Edmund Burke (1729-1797), who appears to be sobbing while the sleeping Scotch MacDonald and robber North flank him.
The artist behind this copperplate engraving is Thomas Sanders, who based his work on a satirical illustration by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier). The piece was originally published in "Human Passions Delineated" by John Haywood in Manchester in 1773.
The composition of the image invites viewers to contemplate its meaning and symbolism. The title suggests that the political landscape at the time was complex and perhaps even backwards. The juxtaposition of the three figures with their contrasting emotions adds depth to the narrative portrayed in this artwork.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into the social and political commentary of its era through clever visual storytelling. It serves as both a historical document and a thought-provoking piece of art that continues to resonate with audiences today.
