Loyal Souls - or a Peep into the Messroom at St. James
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-coloured etching by James Gillray, offering a humorous and satirical glimpse into the messroom of St. James in 1797. This burlesque portrayal showcases fifteen officers from different regiments of the Guards, raising their glasses in a toast to the King. Although historically inaccurate as these officers could not have gathered on the same day, Gillray's intention was to create an amusing caricature rather than depict reality. Amongst those depicted may be Captain Dottin, The Duke of York, and Captain Thomas Birch. Printed by Hannah Humphrey, this artwork captures a scene filled with camaraderie and merriment but also reveals hints of rowdiness and debauchery. The officers are shown seated around a table cluttered with bottles and litter while dressed in their ceremonial military uniforms adorned with red coats and sashes. This image reflects both patriotism and drunkenness within British military culture during that era. It offers viewers an insight into Georgian society's penchant for revelry amidst its loyalty towards the monarchy. Gillray's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details such as facial expressions, uniform features, and even individual personalities among these loyal souls. Through his satirical lens, he invites us to ponder upon notions of honor, feasting traditions within armies, as well as exaggerated displays of loyalty. Overall, "Loyal Souls - or a Peep into
