EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and slightly eerie print titled "Horror, January 1,1800" created by Thomas Rowlandson in the 19th century, we are transported to a scene filled with both fear and humor. The artist's intricate etching technique brings to life a group of people from Britain who seem to be caught in the grip of terror. At the center of the composition stands a young boy, wide-eyed and trembling with fright. Surrounding him are men and women equally alarmed, their faces contorted into expressions of sheer panic. It is as if they have encountered something truly horrifying on this fateful New Year's Day. Rowlandson cleverly incorporates elements that add an air of absurdity to the scene. A variety of animals - from cats and dogs to birds and even a monkey - join in on the collective alarm, amplifying the chaos unfolding before us. The artist's use of color adds vibrancy to this otherwise dark subject matter. Despite its macabre undertones, there is an undeniable sense of playfulness within this artwork. Rowlandson masterfully combines horror with humor, creating a captivating image that leaves viewers simultaneously amused and unsettled. As we gaze upon "Horror, January 1,1800" we are reminded that fear can often be irrational yet universal; it has no boundaries when it comes to age or gender. This print serves as a testament to Rowlandson's skillful storytelling through artistry while offering us insight
