EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating and scandalous print titled "Sir Richard Worse-than-Sly, Exposing his Wife's Bottom - O fye!" takes us back to the year 1782. Created by the talented artist James Gillray, this hand-colored engraving offers a glimpse into the private lives of Sir Richard Worsley and his wife Seymour Dorothy, Lady Worsley. In this intriguing scene, we find ourselves inside an opulent bathroom adorned with luxurious furnishings. Through a small window, Sir Richard can be seen peeping at his coquettish wife as she indulges in her daily bathing routine. The cartoon-like depiction adds a touch of humor to what would otherwise be considered quite scandalous for its time. Lady Worsley stands naked in all her beauty while being attended to by her maid. Her mules rest nearby as she innocently goes about her washing ritual. This caricature not only exposes nudity but also hints at the complex dynamics within their marriage. This rare print from The Stapleton Collection invites viewers to reflect on societal norms and expectations during that era. It serves as a reminder that even those belonging to high society were not immune to personal scandals and controversies. As we admire this exquisite piece of artistry by Bridgeman Images, it is important to appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging the artistic license taken by Gillray in capturing such intimate moments between husband and wife.
