EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Military Sketch of a Gilt Stick, or a Poker Emblazoned" an exquisite hand-coloured etching published by Hannah Humphrey in 1800. Created by the talented James Gillray, this artwork is courtesy of the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford. The subject depicted in this piece is none other than Charles Murray Cathcart (1783-1859), the 2nd Earl known as Lord Greenock. Joining the army in 1800, he stands proudly in his military uniform, emanating authority and command. His profile is highlighted against a backdrop of Georgian elegance. Every detail has been meticulously captured - from his breeches to his queue hairstyle - showcasing the fashion trends of that era. The gold brocade adorning his attire adds an air of opulence and grandeur to his portrait. Noteworthy elements such as Lord Greenock's wig, cravat, and epaulettes further emphasize his status as a distinguished commander. Holding onto a cane with poker emblazoned on it, he exudes both strength and sophistication. Gillray's masterful engraving technique brings this caricature to life with its intricate lines and attention to facial expressions. This remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously serving as an artistic testament to Lord Greenock's military prowess. Displayed here through Bridgeman Images' lens, this print preserves the beauty and historical significance encapsulated within Gillray's
