EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and humorous print by Thomas Rowlandson, we witness a comical scene unfolding in a cozy parlour. A man, unaware of the unsuspected presence of a startled cat on his chair, is about to sit down with great force. The cat's expression perfectly captures its shock and surprise as it braces itself for impact. To add to the chaos, an old woman scolds the man from across the room, her disapproving gaze piercing through him. The mischievous nature of this illustration is further emphasized by the presence of a dog nearby, observing the unfolding drama with curiosity. Rowlandson's handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully brings out every detail in this satirical caricature. It was created as part of Reverend James Beresford's "Miseries of Human Life" series and published in 1808 by Ackermann. The Regency-era setting is evident in the elegant furniture surrounding them - single chairs upholstered with care and attention to detail. The walking stick leaning against one chair adds an additional touch of authenticity to the scene. This delightful artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst life's miseries, unexpected moments can bring joy and laughter into our lives.
