EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical engraving from the 18th century, we are transported to a modern built villa near Clapham where a Common Council Man of Candlestick Ward and his wife pay a visit to Mr. Deputy. The scene is filled with humor and misfortune as the couple finds themselves in an unexpected accident. The caricatured figures of the man and woman are depicted in exaggerated fashion, adding to the lightheartedness of the image. As they approach Mr. Deputy's villa, disaster strikes when one of their horses stumbles, causing them to tumble out of their hansom cab. The architecture surrounding them showcases a blend of styles including chinoiserie towers and Venetian-style windows, giving us insight into the artistic trends of that era. Despite its grandeur, even these opulent surroundings cannot protect our protagonists from their comedic mishap. As onlookers watch in shock and amusement, we can't help but laugh at this moment frozen in time. The man's wig flies off his head while his wife desperately clings onto her broken shaft for support. This whimsical print captures not only a humorous incident but also offers glimpses into Georgian style fashion and transportation during that period. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of authority can find themselves subject to unexpected misfortunes - much to our entertainment!
