Plate 17, from World in Miniature, 1816
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a fascinating snapshot of early 19th-century Britain captured by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson. This hand-colored print showcases the bustling streets filled with people and horse-drawn carriages, depicting a vibrant scene that was characteristic of the time. In this particular image, we see a humorous and satirical take on an occupation involving birds. A bird catcher can be seen holding a cage filled with various types of birds, including ducks and geese. The woman's expression suggests she takes her job seriously while adding a touch of comedy to the scene. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of not only the people but also their surroundings. The architecture and road transport provide valuable insights into life during this period. The use of color adds vibrancy to the print, making it visually appealing and engaging for viewers. This artwork serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers us a glimpse into professions that were prevalent centuries ago. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such intricate prints as well as the historical context they represent. As part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, "Plate 17" stands as an important piece within Rowlandson's body of work and contributes to our understanding of British society during this era.
