EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the Georgian era transports us back to a village tavern in 1831. The scene is alive with activity and character, as drinkers and a fiddler gather outside the establishment. Sailors, a soldier, and a yokel engage in jovial conversation while enjoying their drinks on a bench. A flirty buxom wench adds an element of flirtation to the atmosphere. The blind fiddler plays his music passionately, accompanied by his assistant who holds out a hat for tips. Their presence adds an enchanting musical backdrop to this lively gathering. The handcoloured wood engraving captures every detail of this momentous occasion. Thomas Rowlandson's illustration was featured in W. H. Harrison's "The Humourist" which served as a companion for Christmas firesides during that time period. This satirical drawing sheds light on various aspects of society, including alcohol consumption and street musicianship. As we delve into this image, we are transported into everyday life within the village community during the 19th century. It showcases not only the customs and habits prevalent at that time but also highlights different social classes coming together under one roof. This print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression capturing an era long gone but forever preserved through engravings like these.
