The Grand-Signior Retiring
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous hand-coloured etching published by Hannah Humphrey in 1796. Created by the talented James Gillray, this artwork provides a satirical glimpse into the scandalous world of Georgian society. In this scene, we witness George, Prince of Wales, known as "Prinnie" retiring to his bedchamber accompanied by Lady Jersey. The Earl of Jersey can be seen lighting their way with a candle, suggesting his complicity in their affair. The room is lavishly furnished with curtains drawn shut for privacy. The cartoon-like portrayal adds an element of comedy to the image. Prinnie appears chubby with a pot belly while Lady Jersey's lover seems scrawny and comically dressed in torn maps as waistcoats. Their expressions suggest both excitement and trepidation at being caught in such an intimate setting. This print captures the essence of social satire prevalent during that era, highlighting themes of adultery and cuckoldry within high society circles. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power are not immune to scandalous behavior. With its intricate details and clever composition, "The Grand-Signior Retiring" offers viewers an entertaining insight into the secret lives and liaisons that unfolded behind closed doors during this period.
