Raw Weather - A Glimpse into the Stormy Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Raw Weather" takes us back to 1808 when it was first published by Hannah Humphrey. Created as a hand-coloured etching by James Gillray, this artwork offers a whimsical yet foreboding portrayal of the English countryside during inclement weather. In this full-length portrait, we find ourselves immersed in a scene filled with dark clouds and lashing rain. A bundled figure stands huddled near a tree trunk, donning a checked neckerchief and Jean de Bry coat to shield themselves from the blustery wind. Their top hat adds an air of formality amidst the menacing atmosphere. A scarecrow perched on a fence seems unfazed by the storm as it watches over the sodden landscape. Nearby, a crow and raven take shelter on branches while squalls whip through the air. Puddles dotting the path reflect both ominous skies and our protagonist's determination to brave these challenging conditions. Gillray's skillful caricature captures not only the physical elements but also conveys an underlying message about human resilience in adverse circumstances. The artist masterfully blends humor with threat, leaving viewers contemplating their own encounters with nature's fury. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of how weather shapes our lives and influences our understanding of climate science today. This remarkable piece invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its relevance within meteorology
