EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Smelling out a Rat" we are transported back to the year 1790, where Welsh philosopher, nonconformist preacher, and pamphleteer Richard Price finds himself in quite the predicament. Startled by a giant bespectacled nose representing none other than Edmund Burke, Price is caught red-handed at work amidst a sea of evidence pointing towards sedition against both church and state. The artist behind this intricate piece is James Gillray, renowned for his satirical caricatures. Through his masterful strokes, Gillray captures the essence of surprise on Price's face as he realizes that his secret activities have been exposed. The exaggerated size of Burke's nose adds an element of humor to the scene while symbolizing his keen sense for sniffing out wrongdoing. Surrounded by stacks of incriminating documents and pamphlets scattered across his desk, Price stands as a representation of dissent during a time when challenging authority was met with severe consequences. This print serves as an illustration from Thomas Wright's "Caricature History of the Georges or Annals of the House of Hanover" providing us with valuable insight into political satire prevalent during that era. As we delve into this intriguing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of the power art holds in conveying historical narratives but also how it can shed light on individuals who dared to challenge societal norms.
