EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a chaotic scene of English gentlemen gamblers rioting in a gambling hell. The year is 1900, and the artist Henry Thomas Alken skillfully depicts the mayhem that ensues when these high-class individuals let loose their passions. In this particular print, we witness an incident at Warwick Races in 1824 involving John Mytton, a notorious figure known for his wild antics. Mytton wrecks a rouge-et-noir gaming table and fearlessly confronts the owners of the den. Titled "A Hell of a row in a Hell" this illustration showcases Mytton's audacity as he shows fight against those who dare to challenge him. Alken's facsimile from Nimrod's Memoirs of the Life of the Late John Mytton transports us back to an era where gambling was both thrilling and dangerous. The composition is filled with tension as several people clash and confront each other amidst the chaos. It serves as a reminder that even English gentlemen were not immune to indulging in vices or engaging in physical altercations. This artwork offers us a glimpse into British culture during the early twentieth century, capturing not only the excitement of gambling but also reflecting societal norms and values. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print by Bridgeman Images invites viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment where passion meets recklessness on an unforgettable night at the gambling tables.
