Bat, Cat and Mat, how happy could I be with either, 1821. Queen Caroline, Bergami and Matthew Wood dance arm in arm on a road between Calais and St Omer
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant 19th-century print captures a whimsical moment of joy as Queen Caroline of Brunswick dances merrily with her companions Bartolomeo Bergami and Matthew Wood. The scene unfolds on a picturesque road between Calais and St Omer, where the trio's arms are linked in perfect harmony. The anonymous artist skillfully depicts the lively atmosphere of this historic encounter through intricate etching. The colorful costumes worn by these figures reflect the fashion trends of the time while adding an element of playfulness to the composition. Queen Caroline's radiant smile is contagious as she gracefully moves alongside her Italian companion Bergami and trusted confidant Matthew Wood. Their synchronized steps symbolize unity amidst their shared journey through life. This caricature offers a glimpse into the complex relationships within British monarchy during that era. While it does not explicitly mention commercial use or any specific company associated with it, its historical significance cannot be denied. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork serves as a testament to human connection transcending borders and social hierarchies. It reminds us that happiness can be found in unexpected friendships formed along life's winding path - just like Bat, Cat, and Mat dancing together under the open sky in 1821.
