"Exploring the Eccentricities of 18th Century Life: A Glimpse into 'Foress W'" Step back in time to January 1794, as depicted by Thomas Rowlandson's "Oddities, " where peculiarities abound and curiosity reigns. Delve further into the past with Anon's "Waggoners Frocks or No Bodys of 1795, " a whimsical illustration that captures the fashion trends of the era. Samuel Alken takes us on an artistic journey through his works, starting with "Art of Scaling" from 1792, showcasing the skillful technique employed by craftsmen during this period. Fast forward to December 1799 with Alken's "O Tempora, O Mores. " - a satirical commentary on society's moral decline. In another piece titled "Botheration" from December 17, 1793, Samuel Alken invites us to witness a comical scene filled with chaos and mischief. Meanwhile, his work "Benevolence" from November 25, 1792 portrays acts of kindness amidst a bustling cityscape. Edward Williams sheds light on societal norms in his thought-provoking piece called "Polygamy. " Originally issued in August 1787 but reissued in July 1802, it challenges traditional notions surrounding relationships and marriage. Charles Catton the Younger transports us to Margate Hoy through two different illustrations - one dated August 19, 1789 and another from January12, 1795. These captivating depictions capture life by the seaside during this era. Lastly, we encounter plates from an instructional series titled "Outlines of Figures, Landscapes and Cattle. . for the Use of Learners. " Plate one provides beginners with foundational figures while plate seven delves deeper into landscapes for those seeking more advanced techniques. Join us as we unravel these historical artworks.
