EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Medley Print: Sots Paradise, 1706-7 captures the lively and humorous scene of a Derby-Ale-House in 18th century Britain. Created by George Bickham, this etching and engraving printed in black and red ink showcases his exceptional talent for graphic design. The artwork depicts a bustling pub filled with people indulging in their love for alcohol. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays various characters engaged in merry-making, including the iconic Pierrot from Commedia dell'arte tradition. This theatrical element adds an air of entertainment to the scene. George Bickham's Medley Print not only serves as a visual spectacle but also carries a satirical undertone towards ale consumption, cleverly penned by Edward Ward. Through this piece, both artists shed light on the prevalent issue of alcoholism during that era. The trompe l'oeil technique employed by Bickham creates an illusionary effect that brings depth and dimension to the print. It almost feels like one could step into this vibrant tavern filled with music and laughter. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable print stands as a testament to Bickham's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of society through his intricate engravings. It serves as a captivating window into 18th-century British culture while reminding us of the timeless allure and dangers associated with excessive drinking. "
