EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Regency period, showcasing an old woman seated in a chair with her mouth wide open, seemingly scolding someone. The illustration is taken from "The Horkey - A Ballad" by Robert Bloomfield and illustrated by George Cruikshank, published in 1882. Set in Suffolk, England, during the harvest season, this ballad depicts the joyous end-of-harvest celebratory meal known as the Horkey. The elderly lady depicted here exudes authority and bossiness through her stern expression and commanding posture. Dressed in traditional Regency attire complete with a shawl and hat, she represents a bygone era of English culture. This color image showcases intricate engraving techniques that were prevalent during the 19th century. Looking at this print evokes nostalgia for times past and conjures up memories of history and social customs. The woman's open mouth suggests surprise or irritation while communicating with those around her. The green color palette adds to its old-fashioned charm. George Cruikshank's artistic talent shines through his detailed drawing style, capturing not only the physical appearance but also conveying emotions effectively. This print serves as a delightful reminder of British culture and offers a glimpse into life in East Anglia during this historical period.
