EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to the elegant and refined Regency period. A group of impeccably dressed individuals can be seen paying a visit to a lady's home, capturing the essence of social customs and etiquette during this era. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where societal norms dictated formal visits and gatherings. The men don dashing tailcoats with top hats while the women showcase their exquisite gowns adorned with delicate lace and intricate embroidery. Each person exudes an air of sophistication as they engage in polite conversation and exchange pleasantries. This particular moment captures the spirit of community and camaraderie that was prevalent during harvest season in Suffolk, England. As depicted in Robert Bloomfield's ballad "The Horkey" it was customary for villagers to come together for an end-of-harvest celebratory meal known as the "Horkey". This gathering provided an opportunity for neighbors to bond over shared experiences while enjoying hearty food and merry festivities. George Cruikshank's masterful illustration brings this historical event to life, showcasing his attention to detail and ability to capture human emotions through artistry. Through this print, we are transported back in time, allowing us a glimpse into the lives of these Regency-style people as they partake in one such joyous occasion. Whitemay's print serves as a beautiful homage to both history and artistry, inviting viewers on a visual journey that celebrates tradition, elegance, and the enduring beauty found
