EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Economy" offers a satirical glimpse into the world of 19th-century London. Created by the renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson in May 1816, this print showcases his exceptional talent for caricature and social commentary. The scene depicts John Bull, a personification of England, sternly addressing the extravagant Prince Regent, also known as Prinny. With an air of gluttony and greed surrounding him, Prinny is urged to curb his excessive spending habits. The figure of George IV himself served as Regent from 1811 to 1820 and was notorious for his lavish lifestyle. Rowlandson's sharp wit shines through in this artwork as he highlights the consequences of such extravagance. The presence of gout symbolizes both physical ailments caused by overindulgence and financial strain on the nation due to excessive spending. Through this clever composition, Rowlandson criticizes not only Prinny but also societal attitudes towards wealth and excess during that era. This engraving serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power should exercise restraint when it comes to personal indulgences. Preserved within a private collection today, "Economy" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message about fiscal responsibility and the dangers associated with unchecked opulence.
