Discipline A La Kenyon, March 25th 1797 - Unveiling the Dark Side of Aristocratic Gambling
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured etching by James Gillray transports us back to the year 1797, offering a vivid glimpse into an era of strict societal norms and moral judgment. Depicting a scene from Lord Chief Justice Kenyon's zero-tolerance policy towards illegal gambling, this print captures the aftermath of a crackdown on aristocratic female gamblers known as the Faro ladies. The image reveals a chaotic spectacle unfolding before our eyes. In the foreground, we witness Lady Sarah Archer, Albinia Countess of Buckinghamshire, and Mrs Conannon subjected to public humiliation in various forms – from being lashed bareback on horse-drawn carts to enduring pillory and jeering crowds. The women's exposed wounds serve as stark reminders of their transgressions against society's expectations. Gillray skillfully portrays not only the physical punishment but also the emotional pain endured by these women through his masterful use of satire. The cartoonish depiction highlights their exaggerated features while emphasizing their lavish attire and social status. Meanwhile, Lord Chief Justice Kenyon presides over this spectacle with an air of authority in his judge's gown and headdress. Through this artwork, Gillray invites us to reflect upon themes such as vice, morality, punishment, and societal hierarchy prevalent during Georgian times. It serves as both a warning against indulging in immoral activities like gambling and a critique of those who wielded power within society. Printed by Hannah Humphrey herself—an esteemed publisher at that time—this historical artifact continues to captivate viewers today with its rich detail and thought-provoking narrative about justice meted out under harsh scrutiny.
