EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'The Apotheosis of Geoffrey Gambado,' is an allegorical illustration by Henry Bunbury, published in 1809. The image showcases a winged woman gracefully riding a hobby horse, her flowing robes billowing behind her. The woman represents the personification of horsemanship, with her regal bearing and the laurel wreath adorning her head. In the background, a portrait of Henry Bunbury, the artist, can be seen. The scene is set against a backdrop of a stagecoach or carriage, with passengers inside, seemingly unaware of the winged woman's presence. A man, likely representing Mr. World, is shown trying to beat a nag with a stick, symbolizing the struggle against the ordinary and mundane. The image is a caricature, as indicated by the hobby horse and the exaggerated depiction of the man attempting to control the stubborn nag. This satirical touch adds an element of humor to the allegory, emphasizing the importance of mastering horsemanship and rising above the ordinary. The intricate details of the engraving, created by Thomas Rowlandson, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the allegorical figures to life and making this print a true masterpiece of the Regency era.
