The Morning after Marriage, or A scene on the Continent
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and scandalous print that takes us back to 1788. This hand-coloured etching by James Gillray offers a satirical depiction of the aftermath of a secret wedding night between Mrs Fitzherbert and George, Prince of Wales. The composition draws inspiration from William Hogarth's "Marriage a la mode" specifically the second plate. However, Gillray adds his own twist to the narrative, portraying Mrs Fitzherbert in a suggestive pose on the bed while George stretches nonchalantly beside her. The room itself is in disarray, with spilled wine bottles, scattered slippers, and a bent candlestick symbolizing their wild and dissolute evening. The presence of a servant maid hints at their clandestine affair being known to others. Gillray's caricature style exaggerates certain features like George's yawning mouth and Mrs Fitzherbert's semi-dressed state. These elements add an element of humor to this otherwise immoral scene. This print provides an intriguing glimpse into Georgian society where appearances were everything but secrets lurked behind closed doors. It serves as both social commentary and entertainment for its viewers during that time period. Courtesy of New College Oxford, this engraving captures the essence of satire through its meticulous details and clever storytelling. It remains an enduring piece that continues to fascinate art enthusiasts today.
