Exaltation of Faros Daughters - A Satirical Depiction of Aristocratic Vice
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured etching, published by Hannah Humphrey in 1796, captures the scandalous tale of Lady Albinia Buckinghamshire and Lady Archer. Both women find themselves standing side by side in the pillory, a public platform used for humiliation and punishment. The alleged theft of the Faro bank has led to their downfall, as they are punished for their excessive gambling habits. In this satirical cartoon by James Gillray, we witness a scene filled with ostentatious luxury and moral laxity. Surrounded by an eager mob jeering at them, these aristocratic ladies face a barrage of rotten vegetables and eggs being thrown at them from all directions. Their fashionable dresses adorned with feathers and extravagant accessories only serve to highlight their frivolity. The engraving exposes the vices prevalent within Georgian society's upper echelons - excessive gambling, extravagance, and social irresponsibility. The image serves as both a critique on the immoral behavior of the aristocracy and a warning against succumbing to such temptations. Through this biting social satire, Gillray highlights the consequences that await those who indulge in vice without restraint. The portrait symbolizes not only individual humiliation but also societal condemnation towards those who prioritize personal pleasure over responsibility. In its depiction of this notorious incident involving two prominent figures from high society, "Exaltation of Faros Daughters" offers us insight into an era marked by excesses and moral ambiguity among Britain's elite classes.
