EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lively and humorous scene captured by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported to a world of extravagance and indulgence. The print titled "Johnny with a spendthrift" portrays two men lounging on a luxurious sofa, sipping wine as they enjoy the attention of a line of tradeswomen showcasing their finest dresses, hats, and other exquisite items. As the tradeswomen parade before them, offering their wares with great enthusiasm, a servant discreetly closes the door on more salespeople outside. It is evident that these men are accustomed to such lavish displays and have no shortage of options when it comes to acquiring new possessions. The room itself is filled with opulence; vases adorn the floor while hat boxes and other accessories lie scattered about. A harp stands in one corner, adding an air of elegance to the already extravagant setting. Rowlandson's handcoloured copperplate engraving perfectly captures the frivolity and excesses of this era. Through his intricate details and playful composition, he invites us into a world where luxury knows no bounds. This print serves as both entertainment and social commentary on consumerism during this period. It reminds us that even in times long past, there were those who reveled in material wealth while others worked tirelessly to cater to their desires.
