EDITORS COMMENTS
Market Day, published by S. W. Fores in 1788 (hand-coloured etching) captures the essence of political satire and social commentary during the Georgian era. Created by the renowned artist James Gillray, this scathing satirical cartoon offers a biting critique on corruption and the selling of votes within British politics. In this intricate artwork, Gillray ingeniously depicts politicians as commodities on display at a bustling market. The Speaker of the House of Commons stands prominently, surrounded by other statesmen who shamelessly offer themselves for sale to the highest bidder. The caption 'Every man has his price' serves as a stark reminder that even those entrusted with governing can be swayed by personal gain. One particularly striking element is the cow with a man's head, symbolizing how easily individuals can be manipulated or transformed into mere pawns in political games. This anthropomorphication adds an extra layer of symbolism to an already powerful image. Gillray's masterful use of hand-coloured etching brings depth and vibrancy to each character and scene depicted. Through meticulous detail and clever composition, he exposes not only the flaws within British politics but also highlights broader themes such as greed, corruption, and voter manipulation. This extraordinary work from New College Oxford's collection showcases Gillray's exceptional talent as both an artist and social commentator. It remains relevant today as a testament to art's ability to challenge authority while provoking thought and reflection on societal issues.
