EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, first published between 1663 and 1678, depicts the iconic scene from Samuel Butler's satirical poem "Hudibras," featuring the titular character Hudibras and his companion Ralpho in the stocks. The image captures the moment of their public humiliation, as they are coupled together in an enchanted tether, their legs bound behind them. Butler's poem, a witty critique of religious and political hypocrisy during the English Civil War era, gained immense popularity upon its publication. This print serves as a visual representation of one of the most memorable scenes from the text, where Hudibras and Ralpho are punished for their misadventures and foolish antics. The image showcases the two men, dressed in outdated armor and clothing, with Hudibras on the left and Ralpho on the right, both looking rather sheepish as they are secured in the wooden stocks. Their expressions suggest a mixture of embarrassment and resignation, as they accept their fate with a sense of humor that is characteristic of the poem. The background of the print is filled with onlookers, some laughing and pointing, while others seem more sympathetic to the plight of the two unfortunate men. The overall atmosphere is lighthearted, yet the message is clear: even the most arrogant and foolish among us can be brought low by the consequences of our actions. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early English literature and the popular culture of the time. It provides a visual complement to the text of "Hudibras," allowing modern audiences to connect with the story in a new and engaging way.
