EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "The skeleton of Death smokes a pipe at the fireside with old Gaffer Goodman, while his young wife is seduced by a suitor at the window" offers a macabre yet intriguing glimpse into 19th century English society. The image depicts an allegorical scene where Death himself, represented as a skeleton, casually enjoys a smoke by the fireside with old Gaffer Goodman. Meanwhile, just outside the window, Gaffer's young wife succumbs to temptation and is seduced by another man. Rowlandson's intricate engraving skillfully captures both the humor and darkness of human existence. The juxtaposition of life and death in this piece serves as a reminder that mortality spares no one, regardless of age or social standing. It also reflects on themes such as infidelity and temptation that were prevalent during this era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of the composition – from the expressions on each character's face to their body language. The hand-colouring adds depth and richness to the overall image. "The English Dance of Death" series from which this print originates was published in London in 1816 by Ackermann. It stands as an important commentary on British culture at that time and continues to captivate viewers today with its darkly satirical portrayal of life's inevitable dance with death.
