The New Gig, 1781 - A Whimsical Journey through the 18th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The New Gig, 1781" takes us on a delightful journey back in time to the vibrant streets of 18th century Britain. Created by Colley and illustrated by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), this artwork is a fascinating example of social caricature. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling road filled with horse-drawn vehicles and lively characters. The exaggerated figures dressed in their finest attire capture the essence of the era's fashion trends. A dashing gentleman sits atop an intricately designed gig, holding a whip with confidence as he navigates through the crowd. The attention to detail in depicting both humans and animals is remarkable. The majestic horses pulling the gig display strength and elegance while adding movement to the composition. Meanwhile, bystanders observe with curiosity as they witness this new mode of transportation making its way along the road. Colley's artistic style combined with Paston's skillful illustrations bring this moment from history vividly to life. Through monochrome tones, every line and shadow contributes to creating depth and texture within the image. "The New Gig, 1781" serves as a visual testament to our ever-evolving modes of transport throughout history while offering us an amusing glimpse into daily life during that era. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were fascinated by progress and innovation just like we are
