EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Lodging at M Queens (Picturesque Beauties of Boswell, Part the Second), June 20,1786" captures a humorous scene from the 18th century. The image, created by Thomas Rowlandson, showcases a quaint bedroom in an old British inn. In this satirical depiction, we see a man who appears to be Dr. Samuel Johnson startled and afraid as he encounters some mischievous mice scurrying around his bedchamber. The picture reflects the witty and playful nature of Rowlandson's work during that era. With great attention to detail, he portrays the fear on the face of our protagonist while emphasizing the chaotic presence of these tiny creatures. This artwork is part of a series called "Picturesque Beauties of Boswell" which explores various scenes from James Boswell's life in Scotland. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during that time period and highlights both the author's occupation as well as his fearsome encounter with unexpected guests. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this etching serves as an amusing reminder that even esteemed individuals like Dr. Samuel Johnson can be frightened by something as small as mice. It invites viewers to appreciate not only Rowlandson's artistic skill but also his ability to find humor in everyday situations.
