EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and satirical print by Thomas Rowlandson captures a comical moment of pain and embarrassment in the honeymoon bed. The scene depicts a man seized by a leg cramp, writhing in agony while his concerned wife looks on. Bottles of gout cordial, restorative drops, and other medicine are scattered on the floor, emphasizing the man's suffering. Handcoloured with intricate details, this copperplate engraving was created to accompany Reverend James Beresford's "Miseries of Human Life" in 1808. Rowlandson's illustration skillfully combines elements of caricature and satire to highlight the absurdity of everyday life. The image reflects Regency-era sensibilities with its depiction of Georgian-style furniture and furnishings. It also alludes to common medical ailments such as lumbago and gout that plagued individuals during this time period. While capturing a moment of physical pain, this print also evokes laughter through its exaggerated portrayal. The viewer can't help but empathize with the man's predicament while finding humor in his misfortune. Bridgeman Images presents this delightful piece from their collection titled "Man seized by leg cramp in the honeymoon bed". It serves as both an amusing snapshot into historical domestic life and an example of Rowlandson's talent for blending artistry with social commentary.
