EDITORS COMMENTS

This vintage engraving, titled "Comfort Of A Bed Of Roses" captures a captivating moment in history with its intricate details and illustrative technique. Created by James Gillray in 1806, this historic artwork transports us to a time of political turmoil and unrest. In the center of the print, we see Charles Fox, a prominent figure of his time, lying in bed next to his wife. However, their peaceful slumber is interrupted by Fox's nightmare. To the right, Napoleon Bonaparte dramatically jumps onto the bed from a cannon inscribed with the words "Pour Subjugeur Le Monde" (To Subjugate The World). Behind him are pikes and a banner proclaiming "Horrors of Invasion". Hovering near the bed is William Pitt as a shade, urging Fox to awaken from his troubled sleep. Above them all looms an eagle labeled Prussia, symbolizing power and dominance. Beneath the bed grow thorny rose branches while death ominously crawls out from under the covers. A bulldog with its collar inscribed John Bull lunges at Napoleon in defense. This engraved image not only showcases Gillray's artistic skill but also provides insight into historical events during this period. It evokes nostalgia for Victorian times and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past struggles and triumphs.
