A Decent Story - A Captivating Glimpse into Georgian Sociability
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured etching, "A Decent Story" published by Hannah Humphrey in 1795, offers a delightful window into the vibrant social scene of Georgian England. Created by the renowned caricaturist James Gillray and based on a rough sketch by the amateur Rev. John Sneyd, this print captures a lively gathering filled with laughter and merriment. In this bustling scene, we see an eclectic mix of characters engaging in animated conversation. A distinguished gentleman regales his audience with an amusing tale while a group of ladies, adorned in their finest attire, cannot contain their laughter. The presence of a soldier in military dress adds an air of gallantry to the occasion. Notably, even a vicar is partaking in the joviality, challenging traditional expectations of clerical decorum. This portrayal reflects the changing dynamics within society during this period.

The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates depth and dimensionality within the composition.

Courtesy of New College Oxford's collection through Bridgeman Images, this remarkable engraving allows us to relish in the convivial
