Taking an Airing at Brighton, 1805 - A Whimsical Journey into Regency Fashion and Coastal Leisure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This delightful colour etching captures a whimsical scene from the vibrant coastal town of Brighton in 1805. The print, titled "Taking an Airing at Brighton" showcases the English School's keen eye for satire and caricature during the 19th century. In this lively composition, we find a group of fashionable ladies indulging in a leisurely ride along the sandy beach. Mounted on their trusty donkeys, these women embody both elegance and humor as they navigate through the bustling seaside atmosphere. Their sidesaddle positions and stylish attire reflect the fashion trends of the Regency period. The artist skillfully incorporates elements of fun and entertainment into this artwork. One lady is seen falling off her donkey with a whip in hand, adding a touch of slapstick comedy to the scene. Meanwhile, ships sail gracefully on the sparkling sea behind them, reminding us of Brighton's maritime heritage. Published by Laurie & Whittle on Fleet Street, this print was part of "The Donkies or The Humour of Fashion" series that combined cartoons with poems or songs written by Mr Upton and illustrated by Johannot. Through its satirical portrayal and playful narrative, "Taking an Airing at Brighton" offers us a glimpse into Georgian society's love for coastal holidays while celebrating both fashion trends and comedic moments that defined this era.
