The Devil to Pay - The Wife Metamorphosed, or Neptune Reposing after Fording the Jordan
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and scandalous print that offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of 18th-century British society. Created by James Gillray in 1791, this hand-coloured etching showcases William, Duke of Clarence, and Dorothy Jordan in an intimate bedroom setting. The composition alludes to the notorious affair between Dorothy Jordan and her previous lover, Richard Ford. Cleverly referencing a chamber pot as "Jordan". Gillray adds an element of wit to this social satire. The print captures the essence of gossip and scandal that surrounded their liaison. In this cartoonish portrayal, we see William dressed as a sailor with his royal coat of arms prominently displayed while he slumbers peacefully beside Dorothy. She is depicted undressed in her stays and bodice, emphasizing her status as a female actress. Their embrace suggests both intimacy and secrecy. Gillray's attention to detail extends beyond the main characters; he includes various elements such as bedclothes, furniture, and garments that add depth to the scene. This engraving not only serves as entertainment but also provides insight into Georgian society's fascination with scandalous affairs involving prominent figures. Now part of New College Oxford's collection courtesy of Hannah Humphrey's publication, "The Devil to Pay" remains an enduring example of satirical art from this era. It invites viewers to contemplate societal norms surrounding love affairs while appreciating Gillray's
