EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 19th century in Britain. Created by Thomas Rowlandson and hand-colored by George Moutard Woodward, this cartoon-like artwork offers a glimpse into the social dynamics and moral controversies of its time. In this scene, we witness an animated argument between two women. One woman holds an ear trumpet, a hearing aid commonly used during that era. The other woman wears extravagant earrings as they engage in a dispute over what appears to be a matter of morality. Their expressive gestures and intense facial expressions convey their passionate disagreement. Rowlandson's intricate etching technique brings out the fine details of their jewelry and clothing while adding depth to the overall composition. The vibrant colors chosen by Woodward enhance the visual impact of this historical piece. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print not only showcases the artistic talent of Rowlandson but also serves as a window into societal norms and values prevalent during that period. It reminds us how public debates on morality were once conducted through art forms like cartoons. "The Secret History of Crim Con" invites viewers to ponder upon the complexities of human relationships and challenges our understanding of right versus wrong in different eras. This remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of argumentation and its ability to provoke thought about our own contemporary society.
