EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Endeavouring to Excite a Glow with Her Dutch Play Thing," a captivating hand-colored etching on ivory laid paper by Isaac Robert Cruikshank, published on July 1, 1814, offers a humorous and satirical commentary on the British monarchy and their relations with the Low Countries. The print depicts a scantily clad woman, identified as Miss Endeavouring, attempting to ignite a Dutch toy, possibly a clog or a wooden shoe, with a candle. The woman, with a determined expression on her face, is seated on a chaise longue, surrounded by an assortment of Dutch paraphernalia, including a windmill and a bottle labeled "Geneva." The print satirizes the then-Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, who was known for her romantic involvement with the Dutchman, Baron van der Pahlen, and her fascination with all things Dutch. The print also mocks King George IV, who was unpopular due to his extravagant lifestyle and numerous mistresses. The King is depicted as a man in the background, sitting on a chair, seemingly disinterested in Miss Endeavouring's antics. The print is a masterful example of Cruikshank's skill as a caricaturist and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print make it a visual treat for art enthusiasts and historians alike. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century British art and offers a unique insight into the social and political climate of the time. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a popular attraction for visitors interested in the history of art and the social commentary of the time. The print's satirical nature and intricate details make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of British art and the social commentary of the time.
