EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured etching titled "A Little Bigger" is a humorous and satirical portrayal of the excesses and indulgences prevalent in society during the late 18th century. Created by the renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this print showcases his exceptional talent for caricature. The scene depicts an overweight tailor measuring the waistline of a rotund priest or clergyman. The exaggerated proportions of both characters highlight their gluttonous lifestyles and serve as a commentary on societal norms at that time. The meticulous details captured in this artwork allow us to appreciate Rowlandson's skillful engraving technique. The composition not only pokes fun at individuals but also alludes to religious institutions, with additional figures representing various religious orders such as monks and vicars. This playful yet critical approach towards religion adds another layer of social commentary to the piece. Now part of a private collection, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into historical perceptions surrounding weight, appearance, and religious practices. It serves as a reminder that satire has long been used as a tool for critiquing societal norms and challenging established beliefs. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable work from S. W. Fores' publication in 1791, allowing art enthusiasts today to appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting on how our understanding of beauty standards and social critique have evolved over time.
