EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a fascinating scene from the late 18th century, showcasing playwright Elizabeth Inchbald in her creative process. The engraving, created by Henry Wigstead and published by E. Jackson around 1790, portrays Inchbald seated at a table with a bottle of gin and surrounded by influential writings of Aristotle, Rochester, and Congreve. Inchbald's intense focus is evident as she writes puffs for her plays while being inspired by these literary giants. However, the artist adds an unexpected twist to this otherwise serene setting - a mischievous dog defecating on a paper lying on the floor. This comical element injects humor into the scene and serves as a reminder that even amidst intellectual pursuits, life's everyday interruptions can occur. The title of this artwork alludes to two of Inchbald's renowned plays but also hints at the unconventional nature of her work. It suggests that such audacious creations were unheard of until now when Inchbald emerged as an innovative force in theater. This engraved image not only provides us with insight into historical artistic techniques but also offers glimpses into Victorian culture and illustrative traditions. Its old-fashioned charm evokes nostalgia for an era long gone yet still holds relevance today. As we admire this historic artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the unique blend of creativity and chaos that fueled Elizabeth Inchbald's remarkable career as a playwright.
