EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "German Luxury or Repos a L Allemande, pub. 1800" by James Gillray captures a satirical scene of King Frederick Wilhelm III of Prussia in his bedroom. The image showcases the king's indulgent lifestyle and offers a humorous commentary on the German notion of luxury during that era. In this whimsical caricature, we see the king comfortably reclining on a mattress with his feet hanging over the edge. He is wearing a red nightcap and smoking a pipe while daydreaming amidst clouds of smoke. His bicorn hat rests nearby, along with his sword and scabbard. The room itself is filled with elements that highlight the king's laziness and extravagance. A chamber pot sits next to him, indicating his reluctance to leave his bed even for basic needs. A duvet covers him, providing warmth and comfort as he relaxes. Gillray's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate feather plume adorning the king's hat to the newspaper casually tossed aside on top of a commode. Overall, this artwork not only serves as an amusing satire but also provides insight into societal perceptions surrounding luxury and idleness during early 19th-century Germany.
