EDITORS COMMENTS
Gilpin and his Family Set Off: A Delightful Scene from The Diverting History of John Gilpin by William Cowper, published in 1783 This charming print depicts the title character, John Gilpin, and his family embarking on a journey by carriage in the bustling streets of 18th century England. The scene is taken from The Diverting History of John Gilpin, a popular poem by the renowned English poet, William Cowper. First published in 1782, the poem tells the humorous tale of John Gilpin, a man from Hampstead who sets off on a journey to visit his wife in Chester. Along the way, he encounters various mishaps and adventures, including a runaway horse and a detour to the local alehouse. In this print, Gilpin, dressed in a long coat and hat, sits in the carriage with his wife and their young daughter. The family's servant, holding a large trunk, follows behind, while their horse and dog look on from the side. The lively scene is filled with details that transport the viewer back in time, from the ornate carriage and the fashionable clothing of the passengers, to the cobblestone streets and the horse-drawn carts and wagons that fill the background. The Diverting History of John Gilpin was a favorite among the literati of the day, and the poem was frequently set to music and adapted for the stage. This print, with its charming depiction of the Gilpin family's journey, offers a delightful glimpse into the world of 18th century England and the enduring appeal of Cowper's whimsical verse.
