EDITORS COMMENTS
(August 20, 1782): An Unusual Pastime of an Old British Couple This intriguing print from the 18th century, titled "Summer Amusement--Bugg Hunting," depicts an unusual pastime enjoyed by an elderly British couple. Dressed in their finest attire, they are seen in a cozy bedroom setting, meticulously searching for bedbugs. The room is adorned with a four-poster bed, its canopy draped in rich fabrics, while the couple's bedside table is cluttered with various tools and containers. The husband, with a determined expression, uses a long, thin rod to probe the bed's seams and crevices, while his wife, with a magnifying glass in hand, examines each suspected bug closely. Their faces are etched with concentration, as they focus intently on their task. The presence of a dog at their feet suggests that they may have employed the animal to help them detect the pests. Bedbug infestations were a common problem in the 18th century, particularly in densely populated areas. The couple's diligent efforts to eradicate the bugs from their home would have been essential for maintaining their health and comfort. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of people during this era, revealing their resourcefulness and determination in the face of everyday challenges. The print's charming, almost whimsical style adds to its appeal, making it an intriguing and unique addition to any collection of historical imagery. It provides a delightful reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of our ancestors, as well as the enduring human desire to find enjoyment in the most unexpected circumstances.
