EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and comical print by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported to a lively drawing room during the Regency era. The scene captures a moment of chaos as a man finds himself under attack from both a mischievous parrot and an equally feisty cat. The man's startled expression perfectly conveys his surprise at being caught off guard by these unexpected assailants. The room itself is elegantly furnished, with ornate furniture and delicate wallpaper adorning the walls. It is clear that this space is meant for refined gatherings and social interactions. However, in this particular instance, the tranquility has been disrupted by the antics of these unruly animals. The parrot perches on top of its birdcage, flapping its wings in agitation while pecking at the man's head. Meanwhile, the cat pounces with claws outstretched towards his leg. Both creatures seem determined to assert their dominance over their human counterpart. Surrounding them are several ladies and gentlemen who watch in amusement or shock at the spectacle unfolding before them. Their presence adds to the sense of absurdity in this satirical illustration. Rowlandson's handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases his skill as an artist known for his caricatures and humorous depictions of everyday life. This artwork was created to accompany Reverend James Beresford's "Miseries of Human Life" adding another layer of wit to this amusing anecdote about domestic pets gone wild.
