EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "A New Summons to all the Merry Making Jades that attend at Horn Fair" takes us back to the vibrant and scandalous world of 17th-century England. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist, invites us into a licentious celebration filled with jollity and festivity. The scene depicts a wife's adulterous pursuit amidst a backdrop of merry-making revelers. With ribaldry and doggerel verse, this artwork explores themes of lust, cuckoldry, and temptation. The women in the print are portrayed as mischievous jades, indulging in their desires while their unsuspecting husbands remain oblivious. Printed and sold by T. Batchelar in London's Moorfields district, this woodcut captures the essence of a festival where drinking is abundant and inhibitions run wild. It serves as both an invitation to join in on the debauchery and a cautionary tale about the consequences of infidelity. The intricate details within this piece draw our attention to every facet: from the horns symbolizing adultery to the expressions on each character's face revealing their hidden intentions. This provocative artwork offers viewers a glimpse into a world where societal norms are discarded for one night of unbridled pleasure. As we gaze upon this intriguing woodcut print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we can't help but be captivated by its boldness and audacity—a testament to art's ability to challenge conventions even
