EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "Lady Godinas rout or Peeping Tom spying out Pope Joan" by James Gillray captures a lively scene of a fashionable crowd engaged in card games. The engraving, created in 1796, showcases two tables where people are engrossed in playing the popular game Pope-Joan. However, what catches the viewer's attention is the foreground where four individuals are deeply involved in their gameplay. Amidst this group, one woman stands out as she dons a loose-fitting semi-transparent dress that exposes her breasts. Behind her, an intrigued man leans forward to peer down her dress while absentmindedly reaching for a candle he is about to extinguish due to his distracted state. On the left side of the picture, a rear view of a plump woman dominates the scene. This engraved image beautifully exemplifies Victorian art and culture with its illustrative technique and historical significance. It takes us back to an era when such scenes were considered scandalous yet intriguing. The artwork evokes nostalgia and offers insight into traditional historic art forms. The Liszt Collection presents this piece from its archives, showcasing their commitment to preserving and sharing historic artworks that offer glimpses into our past.
