Hannah Humphrey: A Journey through History in Coloured Engravings Step into the world of Hannah Humphrey, a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the art scene with her captivating coloured engravings. Through her works, she transported viewers to different eras and captured significant moments in history. "The Lovers Dream, 1795" reveals Humphrey's ability to evoke emotions through her art. With delicate strokes and vibrant hues, she painted a dreamscape where love knows no boundaries. In "United Irishmen upon Duty, 1798, " Humphrey depicted the fervor of revolution. The colours pulsate with energy as brave souls fight for their ideals and freedom. Humphrey's "Taking Physick, 1800" showcases her keen eye for detail. Every line tells a story of pain and healing as patients seek solace in medicine during uncertain times. "The Genius of France Triumphant - or - Britannia petitioning for Peace" offers a glimpse into political tensions at the time. Through this engraving, Humphrey sparks contemplation about war and diplomacy. With "Metallic Tractors, 1801, " Hannah delves into scientific advancements that fascinated society during that era. Her use of colour brings these innovative tools to life before our eyes. In "The Fall of Icarus, 1807, " we witness tragedy unfold as Icarus soars too close to the sun. This piece reminds us of the consequences that can arise from unchecked ambition. Humphrey's talent extended beyond historical events; she also had a knack for satire. In "Death of a Corsican Fox - Scene the last of the Royal-Hunt, 1803, " she humorously portrays political figures engaging in their own version of fox hunting. Through John Bull's Progress (1793), we see how Hannah used humour to comment on societal issues prevalent at that time while shedding light on the life of William Cobbett in her publication.
