The Finishing Touch
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical image that takes us back to the extravagant world of Georgian society in 1791. This hand-coloured etching, published by Hannah Humphrey, showcases the remarkable talent of James Gillray, a renowned caricaturist of his time. In this scene, we are introduced to Lady Archer (nee West), the wife of Whig politician Andrew, 2nd Lord Archer. Seated at her dressing table in her elegant boudoir, she indulges in the art of beautification with an array of cosmetics and accessories surrounding her. With a feathered plume adorning her hat and spectacles perched on her nose, she meticulously applies blusher and face paint while gazing into a mirror. Gillray's social satire shines through as he humorously exaggerates Lady Archer's features with unflattering details. The artist playfully mocks the obsession with fashion and elegance prevalent during this era. Through his skilled engraving techniques, every intricate detail from the pot of rouge to the reflection in the mirror is brought to life. "The Finishing Touch" serves as both a window into historical beauty rituals and a commentary on societal norms. It reminds us that even centuries ago, individuals were captivated by their appearance and willing to go to great lengths for perfection. This print offers us an amusing glimpse into Georgian society while showcasing Gillray's artistic prowess in capturing human folly through caricature.
