EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson depicts a chaotic scene on the streets of Regency England. In the print, titled "Johnny thrown out of a sedan chair when the porters crash over a pile of stones in the street" we witness an unfortunate incident that unfolds under the lamplight. As Johnny is being transported in his sedan chair, disaster strikes when the porters stumble upon a heap of stones, causing him to be unceremoniously thrown out. The commotion attracts the attention of night watchmen armed with lanterns and rattles, who rush to aid Johnny and restore order to this bustling London street. Rowlandson's intricate details bring this lively moment to life – from the flickering gaslight illuminating each character's face to the expressions of surprise and concern etched onto their features. The artist masterfully captures both the chaos and camaraderie that often characterized city life during this era. This print is part of William Combe's larger work, "The History of Johnny Quae Genus, The Little Foundling". Through Rowlandson's artistry, we are transported back in time to experience a glimpse into London society and its colorful inhabitants. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared history but also highlights Rowlandson's talent for capturing human emotion within his engravings. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate this historical artwork today while marveling at its ability to transport us back centuries ago on those dimly lit streets where anything could happen.
