Chest Comic Scene Drawer Eau Forte Etching Failure Groans Handles John Augustus Atkinson Jumper Miseries Pull Regency

EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical and humorous print captures a moment of frustration and folly as a man attempts to open a drawer but instead ends up pulling off the handles. The exaggerated facial expression of the man, combined with the comically oversized jumper he is wearing, adds to the overall sense of absurdity in this scene. Created by John Augustus Atkinson in 1807, this handcoloured copperplate etching is part of his series "Illustrations of the Miseries of Human Life." Through clever caricatures and satirical depictions, Atkinson highlights the everyday struggles and mishaps that we all experience at one point or another. The intricate details in this print showcase Atkinson's skill as an artist, from the delicate lines etched into the copperplate to the vibrant colors used for handcolouring. The Regency-era setting further enhances the charm and wit of this piece, offering a glimpse into society's attitudes towards furniture and domestic life during that time period. As we gaze upon this scene of misfortune and failure, we can't help but chuckle at the man's predicament. It serves as a reminder that even in our most frustrating moments, there is always room for laughter and levity.
