How to Pluck a Goose, June 10,1802
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Satirical Glimpse into British Leisure Step back in time with this print captured by Thomas Rowlandson in the early 19th century. Titled "How to Pluck a Goose, June 10,1802" it offers an intriguing glimpse into the leisure activities of British society during that era. In this hand-colored etching, Rowlandson skillfully depicts a group of individuals engrossed in a lively card game called cassino. The scene is set against the backdrop of an officer and soldier engaged in war-related conversation nearby. However, what truly captures attention is the central figure - an old woman wearing a turban-like headdress that was fashionable at the time. Rowlandson's work often carried satirical undertones and social commentary. Here, he subtly mocks gender roles and stereotypes prevalent during his time. The presence of women participating in gambling challenges societal norms while highlighting their agency and independence. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this piece as part of its heritage art collection. It serves as a reminder not only of Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also sheds light on the pastimes enjoyed by people from various walks of life during Britain's vibrant history. As you admire this hand-tinted masterpiece, let your imagination transport you to June 10th, 1802 – where laughter echoes through gaming halls and traditions clash with changing times.
