EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Festival of the Golden Rump, 1737" takes us back to a significant moment in English history. Created by an anonymous artist from the 18th century, this print captures a pivotal event during Robert Walpole's attempt to control the stage and quell Jacobite attacks on him and King George II. The scene depicted in this satirical artwork is taken from a farce called "The Golden Rump". At its center stands a large pair of buttocks, serving as scenery from which political figures are hilariously portrayed. The play aimed to mock and criticize prominent individuals of that time. Walpole utilized this play as evidence for his case while quoting it in parliament during discussions surrounding the Licensing Act of 1737. This act sought to regulate entertainment and impose censorship on theatrical performances. Intriguingly, this etching reveals not only the power struggle between Walpole and his opponents but also sheds light on the social climate of Georgian England. It showcases actors, performers, politicians, and even magician-like characters such as Queen Caroline and Bishop Hoadley. As we observe this historic artwork today, we can appreciate how satire was used as a tool for political commentary during that era. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played an essential role in expressing dissenting opinions and challenging authority throughout history.
