EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of 18th-century London's art scene. This hand-coloured engraving by James Gillray offers a humorous and satirical commentary on the fashionable elite who frequented Christie's exhibition. The focal point of the image is Tally-ho, also known as Edward Smith Stanley, the Earl of Derby. Towering above his companions with his plumed hat and spyglass in hand, he exudes an air of importance. By contrast, his mistress Nimeney-Pimmeney appears short and stout beside him. The picture gallery they inhabit is filled with exquisite paintings that attract both admiration and amusement from visitors. The caricatured figures surrounding them represent various stereotypes: a tall, thin man engrossed in examining artwork through a magnifying glass while an overweight woman struggles to keep up. Gillray's illustration captures not only the physical characteristics but also the social dynamics prevalent during this era. It provides us with a glimpse into the opulent interiors where high society indulged their passion for art. This historic print belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection, serving as a valuable record of 18th-century life. Its vibrant colours bring to life an age when satire was used to critique societal norms and offer entertainment simultaneously.
