Sandwich Carrots - A Playful Encounter in 18th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Sandwich Carrots: dainty Sandwich Carrots" captures a whimsical scene from the bustling streets of Georgian London. Created by James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey on December 3rd, 1796, this satirical caricature offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the era. In this lively street scene, we find Lord Sandwich himself (1743-1814), known for his lax morals and reputation as a womanizer. Dressed in an elegant frock coat and top hat, he is seen engaging with a barrow girl - one of many working-class women who sold vegetables to make ends meet. The innuendo-laden illustration portrays Lord Sandwich playfully fondling the carrots being pushed in her wheelbarrow. The suggestive gesture hints at his lecherous nature while highlighting the stark contrast between their respective social statuses. Gillray's sharp satire exposes not only Lord Sandwich's debaucherous tendencies but also comments on class divisions and gender dynamics prevalent during that time. Through clever symbolism and exaggerated features, this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon societal norms and expectations. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print serves as both historical documentation and artistic commentary on an era filled with frivolity and scandal. It reminds us that even within seemingly innocent scenes like vegetable vending, power imbalances can persistently manifest themselves –
