1770s Boxer Fowl Grounds Guests Hungry Including Pic Nic Picnics Revolution Roast Satire Secures Spoilt Stately Unwanted Unwelcome


EDITORS COMMENTS
A serene and elegant country picnic in the grounds of a historic stately home is interrupted in this satirical 1770s print, as unwanted and unwelcome guests make an unexpected appearance. The tranquility of the scene is shattered by the raucous presence of a boxer and a ravenous dog. The boxer, with fists clenched and a determined expression, seems poised for a fight, while the dog, securing itself a roast fowl in its jaws, looks up with a satisfied and hungry gleam in its eyes. The historical backdrop of the stately home adds an air of grandeur and importance to the scene, yet the inclusion of these uninvited guests serves to highlight the political and social tensions of the time. The French Revolution was just around the corner, and the sense of instability and chaos that would soon engulf Europe is hinted at in this seemingly idyllic setting. Despite the elegance of the guests, who are engrossed in their drinks and food, the mood is one of unease and disquiet. The boxer and the dog represent the unpredictable and disruptive forces that can upend even the most refined of social gatherings. This print serves as a reminder that even in the most peaceful of times, the unexpected can and will happen. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the opulence of the era, with guests dressed in the latest fashion and enjoying a spread of fine foods. Yet, the inclusion of the boxer and the dog adds a note of satire and humor, highlighting the absurdity and unpredictability of life in the 1770s.
