In this whimsical and humorous handcoloured copperplate print from 1807, we see a gentleman gallantly helping a lady off a rowboat. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, he loses his footing and tumbles into the river below. The scene captures the miseries of human life with a touch of comedy, as the gentleman's noble gesture ends in embarrassment.
Created by John Augustus Atkinson for Illustrations of the Miseries of Human Life, this etching showcases his talent for caricature and satire. The exaggerated expressions and movements add to the overall charm of the piece.
The Regency-era setting adds to the elegance and sophistication of the scene, with intricate details such as clothing styles and architectural elements enhancing its historical appeal. The vibrant handcolouring brings an extra layer of depth to the image, making it even more captivating to behold.
Overall, this print is not just a depiction of an accident but also a reflection on societal norms and expectations.
