EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint print, titled "Le Debarquement du Chevalier John Bull et de sa famille a Boulogne sur Mer" captures a satirical moment in history. Engraved by James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey in 1792, the image parodies an incident described by playwright Frederick Reynolds when he was carried ashore by 40 fishwives at Calais. In this comical scene, Sir John Bull and his family are depicted arriving on the shores of Bologne sur Mer. The noble Englishman is seen wading through the English Channel with his wife and children while being met by a group of peasants from the coastal town. The exaggerated caricatures highlight their contrasting appearances - Sir John Bull adorned in aristocratic finery with a wig and walking stick, while the locals are shown in rags and clogs. The print humorously portrays the clash between social classes as well as cultural differences between England and France during that time period. It also pokes fun at Reynolds' dramatic account of being greeted so enthusiastically upon arrival. With its intricate details, including facial expressions, clothing styles, and even religious figures like priests and monks observing from afar, this artwork offers both entertainment and commentary on societal norms of the era. A fascinating piece capturing movement, action, satire, and coastal scenery along France's shoreline; it serves as a reminder of historical events viewed through a humorous lens.
