EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Visiting Gentlemen Refused Entry to a House by a Servant," is a witty and satirical illustration from Reverend James Beresford's "Miseries of Human Life," published by Ackermann in 1808. The image, designed by Henry Bunbury and etched by Thomas Rowlandson, depicts a scene of embarrassment and disappointment as three well-dressed gentlemen are refused entry to a house by a stern-faced servant. The gentleman in the foreground, with a cane and a pained expression, appears to be suffering from gout or lumbago, as he limps and holds his leg. The second gentleman, with a bottle of cordial or restorative in hand, looks anxious and worried, while the third, a young couple, seem shocked and dismayed. The woman clutches her husband's arm, and the man's face is contorted in frustration and embarrassment. The servant, with a stern and unyielding expression, stands in the doorway, arms crossed, and refuses entry to the visitors. The caption above the scene reads "The Inflexible Porter," emphasizing the servant's unwavering refusal to let the gentlemen in. This illustration is a prime example of the satirical and caricatured style popular during the Regency and Georgian periods. It pokes fun at the social norms and expectations of the time, highlighting the inconvenience and embarrassment that can come with illness and unexpected setbacks. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually striking and engaging work of art.
