EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Thirty Years have I lived in the Parish of Covent Garden" transports us back to 1797, immersing us in the vibrant world of Regency England. Created by renowned artist James Gillray, this hand-coloured engraving offers a satirical glimpse into the life of Colonel Justly Watson or Captain Justly Watson. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman sporting a bicorn hat and military attire, complete with polished boots and spurs. His face is adorned with an intricate feathered plume, adding an air of grandeur to his profile. Gillray's masterful use of caricature captures both the essence and absurdity of this character. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are drawn into a world where social norms are playfully challenged. Mistress Cole's perplexing decision to reside in Covent Garden for three decades becomes a subject for speculation and amusement. The viewer is left wondering why such an unconventional choice was made. With its rich historical context and intricate details, this print from Fine Art Finder serves as not only a visual delight but also as a window into the past. It reminds us that even centuries ago, satire had its place in society – offering both entertainment and commentary on human idiosyncrasies.
