EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "St Swithuns Chapel Cold-bath fields, pub. 1833" captures a humorous parody of the British obsession with weather, particularly rain. Created by George Cruikshank in 1833, this satirical artwork depicts a scene outside St Swithuns Chapel where a crowd has gathered despite the pouring rain. The image showcases an array of onlookers seeking shelter under their umbrellas while others brave the downpour on horseback. A cartoonish minister stands at a podium, seemingly unfazed by the weather as he delivers his sermon to the drenched congregation. The artist's caricature style adds an element of whimsy and exaggeration to each figure present. Cruikshank's clever commentary on British meteorology and climate is evident through his portrayal of individuals going about their daily lives amidst unfavorable conditions. The exaggerated use of tarps and umbrellas for rain protection highlights both the practicality and absurdity that comes with living in such unpredictable weather. This print from Fine Art Finder offers viewers a glimpse into historical attitudes towards weather forecasting and its impact on society during this era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found humor in their shared experiences with inclement weather.
