EDITORS COMMENTS
The Apotheosis of the Duchess of Devonshire, 1784 captures the remarkable life and character of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. In this print, she stands tall and regal, flanked by allegorical figures representing Truth and Virtue. With Scandal trampled underfoot, it is evident that Georgiana was a force to be reckoned with. Known for her exceptional beauty and political activism, the duchess defied societal norms with her unorthodox domestic arrangements. Her best friend also happened to be her husband's mistress, yet Georgiana tolerated this unconventional menage a trois for many years. She herself bore a child out of wedlock, further challenging traditional expectations. This illustration from Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century. . . showcases not only Georgiana's scandalous personal life but also her enduring legacy as an influential figure in British society during the 18th century. The artist George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) skillfully captures both the glorification and satire surrounding the duchess. Georgiana Cavendish remains an icon even today—a symbol of female empowerment who fearlessly navigated through gossip-ridden circles while championing causes close to her heart. This print serves as a testament to her indomitable spirit and unwavering determination to challenge societal conventions.
