EDITORS COMMENTS
The hand-coloured etching titled "Lady Godivas Rout, or Peeping-Tom spying out Pope-Joan" is a captivating piece of social satire created by James Gillray in 1796. The image depicts Lady Georgiana Gordon, who is compared to the legendary Lady Godiva, showcasing her back view as a stout woman. Dressed in an extravagant and revealing French gown adorned with feathers and an ostrich plume turban, she epitomizes the excesses and lax morals of the Georgian aristocracy. In this scene of frivolity and debauchery, Lady Georgiana is seen attending a gathering where card games are being played. Her lecherous valet can be observed trimming a candle while peering at her bare breasts with a leering expression. The atmosphere is one of outrageous extravagance and vice. Gillray's caricature serves as biting social commentary on the decadence and absurdity of the upper classes during this era. Through his exaggerated portrayal of chubby figures, excessive cleavage, and ridiculous costumes, he exposes the vices that were prevalent among society's elite. This print from Fine Art Finder captures not only Gillray's satirical genius but also provides insight into the fashion trends and societal norms of Hanoverian England. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, art had the power to reflect upon human folly and challenge prevailing notions of propriety.
