EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, designed and etched by Thomas Rowlandson, is a satirical illustration from Reverend James Beresford's "Miseries of Human Life," published by Ackermann in 1808. The image depicts a man, dressed in a coat and waistcoat, pinned up against a door by the horns of an enraged ox. The man's neck is trapped between the horns, and his terrified expression conveys the gravity of the situation. The ox, with veins bulging and eyes wild, seems to be in a state of frenzy, its muscles taut with the force of its charge. The scene takes place in a tavern or pub, as evidenced by the barrels of ale and the barmaid in the background, who appears to be laughing at the spectacle with a group of soldiers in uniform. The soldiers, who are likely part of a parade or procession, seem unfazed by the man's predicament, adding to the absurdity of the situation. The title "Miseries of Human Life" suggests that this image is meant to be a commentary on the hardships and absurdities of everyday life. The use of satire and caricature is a common technique of the Regency and Georgian periods, and this print is a prime example of the genre. The man's foolishness in provoking the ox, the bystanders' callousness, and the ox's uncontrollable rage all serve to highlight the unpredictability and capriciousness of life. Thomas Rowlandson's skillful use of line and shading, as well as the vibrant colors of the handcolouring, bring the image to life and add to its visual appeal. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the humor and social commentary of the Regency and Georgian eras.
