Hints to Bad Horsemen, No. 1 - Symptoms of Restiveness, May 10,1781
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and satirical print that takes us back to the rural countryside of 18th century Britain. Created by an unknown artist, this hand-colored etching showcases the comical misadventures of horseback riding during that era. The scene depicts a novice equestrian named Geoffrey Gambado struggling with his restless steed. Dressed in traditional Georgian attire complete with a tricorn hat and country clothing, Gambado's hilarious attempts at maintaining control over his horse are captured in this caricature-like artwork. With its clever use of satire and regionalism, the print pokes fun at the ineptitude of inexperienced riders while also highlighting the challenges faced on rural roads. The signpost in the background adds an element of humor as it points towards various destinations associated with bad horsemanship. This piece offers a glimpse into both the fashion and equestrian culture prevalent during this time period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found amusement in observing human follies through art. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this charming print invites viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon "Hints to Bad Horsemen" we are transported back to an era where laughter was found in everyday mishaps and where art served as both entertainment and social commentary.
