A Peep at Christies, or Tally-ho and his Nimeney-Pimmeney taking the Morning Lounge
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-coloured engraving by James Gillray that offers a humorous glimpse into the world of art auctions in 18th-century England. The print showcases Elizabeth Farren, an acclaimed actress of her time, alongside Edward Smith-Stanley, the Earl of Derby. In this lively scene, we find ourselves immersed in Christie's picture gallery as Tally-ho and his companion leisurely explore the artworks on display. With their distinct physical attributes - Tally-ho being short and stout while Nimeney-Pimmeney stands tall and slender - they add a touch of caricature to the setting. Gillray's attention to detail is evident as he playfully captures various elements within the painting: from fashionable attire to spy glasses used for closer inspection. The contrast between Tally-ho's plumed hat and Nimeney-Pimmeney's elegant fashion choices further emphasizes their differences. This satirical artwork not only provides entertainment but also sheds light on societal norms and preferences during that era. It invites viewers to reflect upon notions of beauty, body image, and social status through its exaggerated portrayal of characters. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print serves as a valuable historical document showcasing Gillray's exceptional talent in capturing both physical characteristics and societal commentary through his engravings.
