EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage engraving from 1797, titled "Heros Recruiting At Kelseys Or Guard Day At St. James's" artist James Gillray transports us back to a bygone era of history and culture. The scene unfolds in a confectionery shop, where two officers are seated facing each other, indulging in sweets. One officer is depicted as an elderly man with a tall and lanky stature, while the other officer is portrayed as a child. Their contrasting ages symbolize the timeless bond between generations. Standing guard at the doorway is a third officer, characterized by his rotund figure and knock-kneed stance. His presence adds an element of humor to the composition while also emphasizing the importance of security during these historic times. The shop windows behind them are filled with an array of fruits and sweets, evoking nostalgia for traditional treats that were enjoyed centuries ago. This detailed artwork showcases Gillray's illustrative technique and his ability to capture historical moments with precision and charm. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported into a world steeped in history - where heroes recruit amidst everyday life scenes like visiting confectioners' shops. It serves as both a testament to our past and an invitation to appreciate the beauty found within historic art forms such as engravements.
