Enter Cowslip, with a bowl of Cream
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous print published by Hannah Humphrey in 1795. Created by the talented artist James Gillray, this hand-coloured etching showcases Lady Buckinghamshire playing the role of a dairy maid in an amateur theatrical production. In this delightful scene, Lady Buckinghamshire's acting skills shine as she embodies the character of a rustic milkmaid. Dressed in a frilly gown adorned with ribbons and wearing a charming straw hat, her chubby profile adds to the comedic effect. With her rotund figure and exaggerated expressions, she brings laughter to all who behold her performance. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the carefully crafted flowers adorning her apron to the delicate posy held in one hand while balancing a bowl of cream on the other. This satirical portrayal pokes fun at society's fascination with fashionable pursuits during Georgian times. Gillray's caricature captures both the essence of rural idyll and social satire. The engraving beautifully depicts Lady Buckinghamshire's dedication to her hobby as an actress while simultaneously mocking societal norms. This print serves as not only an amusing piece but also as a historical artifact that provides insight into 18th-century entertainment culture. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, it stands as evidence of Gillray's talent for capturing human nature through his artistry.
