EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching, titled "Cymon & Iphigenia" is a captivating piece of art published by Hannah Humphrey in 1796. Created by the talented James Gillray under the pseudonym T. Adams, this burlesque print satirizes the discovery of Iphigenia by Cymon from David Garrick's adaptation of Dryden's version of Boccaccio's Decameron. The scene depicted in this cartoonish parody showcases a rural setting with an eager and excited Cymon stumbling upon the slumped figure of Iphigenia. With his coarse and lecherous appearance, Cymon stands out as a grotesque brute, while Iphigenia lies asleep in revealing dress with a bare breast exposed. Despite their stark differences in social status and appearance, this unlikely encounter hints at romance and redemption through love. The enchanted countryside serves as a backdrop to this unconventional love story between an uncouth yokel and an elegant beauty. Gillray's masterful use of satire brings forth both humor and commentary on societal norms during that era. This engraving challenges traditional notions of gracefulness and highlights the power of love to transform even the most brutish individuals into redeemable characters. With its intricate details, bold colors, and clever composition, "Cymon & Iphigenia" remains an intriguing example of caricatured storytelling that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
