EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by John Collier, also known as Tim Bobbin, titled "One man dribbles wine from a glass upon another" offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into 18th-century English society. The scene depicts two men in an animated interaction, with one mischievously dribbling wine from his glass onto the other's head. Collier's artistic style combines elements of caricature and satire to highlight the differences between these characters. The man being targeted appears to be a vicar, identifiable by his wig and clerical attire, while the other gentleman is shown smoking a pipe with an expression of mischief on his face. This playful act of teasing reflects the social dynamics and passions prevalent during this era. The composition captures not only the physical action but also conveys various human expressions – from surprise to annoyance – through facial features and body language. It is evident that Collier intended to evoke laughter and amusement among viewers. This print was originally created as an illustration for Colliers Humans Passions Delineated (John Heywood, 1773), showcasing Collier's talent for using art as a medium for social commentary. Today, it remains part of a private collection under Valerie Jackson Harris' care. Through its clever depiction of drunkenness and lighthearted banter, this engraving serves as both entertainment and reflection on societal norms in 18th-century England.
