Caroline Fair, or Mat Pudding and his Mountebank
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and intriguing etching by Theodore Lane, published by George Humphrey on April 16, 1821. This coloured print depicts a lively scene at a fairground, with the focus on a juggler's stall where Joseph Robert Hownam, a renowned English juggler, is performing for an engaged audience. The juggler, dressed in colorful attire and holding juggling balls, captivates the attention of the crowd, which includes a diverse group of individuals. In the foreground, we see Caroline Amelia Elizabeth of Brunswick, the Duchess of Brunswick, dressed in a fashionable gown and bonnet, leaning forward in curiosity and amusement. She is accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting, Bartolomeo Pergami, an Italian actor and mountebank, and two distinguished gentlemen, Henry Brougham and Thomas Denman. Brougham, a British statesman, is shown wearing a wig and a long coat, while Denman, a judge, is depicted in his judicial robes. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and whimsy, as the juggler skillfully balances objects on his body and in the air. The audience, which includes people of all ages and social classes, is fully engaged in the performance, some clapping and cheering, while others look on in wonder. The juggler's cart, adorned with flags and colorful decorations, adds to the festive atmosphere of the fair. This etching, with its rich details and lively energy, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the world of entertainment and social life in the early 19th century. The caricatured portrayal of the famous personalities adds an element of historical significance, making it a valuable and intriguing piece of art and social history.
