EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the past, showcasing an unfortunate man pinned to a door by the mighty horns of an enraged ox. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson in 1808, this handcoloured copperplate engraving was designed to accompany Reverend James Beresford's book "Miseries of Human Life". In this satirical illustration, Rowlandson skillfully depicts a chaotic moment as the over-driven ox wreaks havoc on its surroundings. The man's neck is tightly ensnared by the powerful horns, leaving him helplessly suspended against the sturdy wooden door. Surrounding him are dogs barking furiously and adding to the riotous atmosphere. The detailed etching showcases Rowlandson's mastery in capturing human emotions through caricature. The man's expression reflects his sheer terror and desperation while facing this unexpected predicament. Meanwhile, onlookers observe with shock and concern for his safety. This artwork serves as a reminder of life's misfortunes that can befall us when we least expect it. It also highlights Rowlandson's ability to blend satire with realism, creating thought-provoking images that resonate with viewers even centuries later. Now preserved within Florilegius' collection, this historical piece offers us a glimpse into Regency-era England and provides insight into both artistic techniques of that time period and societal attitudes towards human suffering.
