EDITORS COMMENTS
The Retreat of Carlo Khan from Leadenhall St. 1783 captures a momentous political defeat with biting satire and surreal imagery. In this vibrant etching, the renowned caricaturist Anon depicts the aftermath of Fox's India Bill, which was thwarted by Lord North and his allies. At the center of the composition sits Charles James Fox, portrayed as Carlo Khan, atop an ass with Lord North's face. The female figure representing London leads this absurd procession down Leadenhall Street, symbolizing the city's role in shaping political outcomes. As George III waves from India House in triumph, Edmund Burke follows behind dressed as a priest - a nod to his religious fervor for opposing Fox's bill. This visual allusion underscores the defeat suffered by Fox and his supporters. The scene is set against a cobbled avenue lined with grand buildings that evoke both power and authority. The attention to detail in capturing 18th-century dress adds authenticity to this historical tableau. This remarkable print can be found at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, offering viewers an opportunity to delve into one of England's most significant political battles during King George III's reign. With its vivid colors and clever symbolism, 'The Retreat of Carlo Khan from Leadenhall St. ' serves as a testament to the enduring power of political satire while providing valuable insights into 18th-century politics.
