EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "Affairs. The sweet prospect behind us, or The outs in office" captures a unique and provocative scene from the late 18th century. Created by William Dent, an active publisher during that time, this sanguine engraving from 1789 showcases rear views of influential figures such as the Prince of Wales, Maria Fitzherbert, Charles James Fox, Lord North, Edmund Burke, a prospective Lord Chancellor, and Richard B. Sheridan. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is its audacious depiction of these prominent individuals with their buttocks exposed while defecating. It's a bold commentary on power dynamics and political affairs of the era. In the background hang paintings representing each sitter involved in this scandalous tableau. With its engraved image and illustrative technique typical of Victorian art culture, this piece offers a glimpse into history through an unconventional lens. Its aged appearance adds to its charm and nostalgic appeal. The Liszt Collection presents this historic artwork not for commercial use but rather to preserve and appreciate traditional artistic expressions that have shaped our past. This print invites viewers to reflect on societal norms and challenges conventional notions surrounding authority and influence within historical contexts.
