EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Monsieur in England, 1788" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the vibrant streets of 18th century Britain. This hand-coloured aquatint showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. In this lively scene, we find ourselves amidst a bustling country road as Monsieur, an elegant French gentleman, finds himself caught up in an unexpected adventure. Seated atop a horse-drawn gig, Monsieur is depicted with great humor and charm as he desperately tries to regain control over his runaway horses. Rowlandson's masterful use of colour brings every element of this scene to life - from the vivid blue sky above to the lush green landscape that surrounds them. The intricate etching technique employed by Henry Wigstead further enhances the depth and texture of each stroke. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are transported not only through space but also through time. We catch glimpses of other people on foot or horseback who witness this comical spectacle unfold before their eyes. Through Monsieur's misadventure, Rowlandson offers us a glimpse into both British culture and society during this period. This remarkable print now resides within the prestigious collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate audiences with its wit and artistic brilliance.
