The Tables Turned - A Satirical Glimpse into High Society Life in 19th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Tables Turned" offers a humorous and satirical insight into the fashionable bores or coolers of high life during the early 19th century. Created by Daniel Thomas Egerton around 1824, this hand-coloured engraving showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of Georgian society. In this scene, we witness a stylish female accompanied by her loyal canine companion strolling through the streets of London. The woman exudes elegance with her impeccable fashion sense and carries herself with an air of sophistication. Meanwhile, her male counterpart appears rather oblivious to their surroundings as he leans on his walking stick. However, what makes this illustration truly intriguing is its underlying social commentary. It highlights how quickly former associates can forget about one's struggles when they find themselves in more fortunate circumstances. The artist cleverly portrays these individuals as blind to their friend's distress, choosing not to acknowledge them. With its intricate details and witty satire, "The Tables Turned" invites viewers to reflect upon societal norms and human behavior that transcend time. This remarkable piece from Peter Quiz's "Fashionable Bores or Coolers in High Life" captures both the style and substance of Georgian society while offering a thought-provoking glimpse into our own contemporary world.
