EDITORS COMMENTS
Very Slippy Weather captures the comical chaos of a winter day in this charmingly satirical print. Engraved by J. Sidebotham and colored with lithography, this artwork by James Gillray brings to life a scene that is both humorous and cautionary. In the foreground, we see a hapless dog who has fallen victim to the treacherous conditions underfoot. With wet fur and an embarrassed expression, it epitomizes the perils of navigating slippery sidewalks during wintertime. Behind the dog, a shop window reflects the chaotic scene outside, adding depth to the composition. The central figure in this print is an unfortunate gentleman who has slipped over on his bald head. His tricorn hat lies askew on the ground while his hairpiece remains firmly intact—a whimsical detail that adds to the satire of vanity even in such precarious circumstances. Clutching onto his walking stick or cane for support, he struggles to regain his footing amidst laughter from passersby. Gillray's attention to detail and clever use of satire make Very Slippy Weather an engaging commentary on human folly and nature's unpredictability. This print serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks like walking down a pavement can become dangerous adventures when faced with icy conditions.
