EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured etching that takes us back to November 1823. Created by Richard Dighton, this satirical caricature offers a glimpse into the world of Andrew Cohen, a coffee speculator of that era. The artwork measures 32.8x23.3 cm and can be found at the National Portrait Gallery in London. In this lively portrait, Cohen stands tall with his top hat and sideburns, donning an elegant tailcoat that epitomizes the fashion trends of the time. Dighton's skilled hand brings out every detail in this comical depiction, capturing Cohen's profile with precision. The artist employs satire and humor to poke fun at Cohen's involvement in coffee speculation during this period. Through exaggerated features and playful exaggerations, Dighton manages to convey both amusement and critique simultaneously. This print serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time, allowing us to explore historical moments through visual storytelling. It invites viewers to reflect on society's fascination with commodities like coffee during the early 19th century while also appreciating Dighton's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon "Coffees the Thing! Go it ye Tigers!", we are transported back in time; witnessing not only Andrew Cohen but also gaining insight into an entire era defined by its unique blend of commerce and culture.
