EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 18th century print, titled "The Night Mare," depicts a woman in a state of deep slumber, her bare breasts exposed and her nightgown pulled back to reveal her thigh, as a mischievous little man sits atop her chest. The woman's disheveled hair and open mouth suggest a restless and troubled sleep. Near her outstretched arm, a chamber pot is placed, adding an element of realism to the fantastical scene. The room is adorned with the trappings of 18th century British culture, including a book titled "Bruce's Travels" sitting on a nearby chair, and a "Source of the Nile" map on the wall. The map, a reference to the famous explorer James Bruce, adds a layer of historical context to the image. The print, created around 1790, is a rare example of the bawdy and satirical cartoons popular during this period in Britain. The use of nudity and sexual innuendo was common in these works, which often served as commentary on contemporary society and politics. Despite its provocative subject matter, the print is also a testament to the artistic skill of the printmaker, with intricate details and delicate shading that bring the characters and scene to life. The use of contrasting textures, such as the rough, unfinished woodgrain background and the smooth, polished figures, adds depth and dimension to the image. Overall, "The Night Mare" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century British popular culture, offering a glimpse into the often-taboo subjects and artistic styles of the time.
