EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in British political history, titled "Sir Jeffery Dunstan Presenting an Address from the Corporation of Garratt, December 30,1788". Taken by Thomas Rowlandson during the 18th century, this black and white etching showcases a comical scene filled with prominent figures. In the image, Sir Jeffery Dunstan can be seen presenting an address to William Pitt the Younger and George Pretyman Tomline. Dunstan was known as a wig seller turned politician and his presence adds a touch of silliness to the scene. The speech bubble above him suggests that he is delivering his address in a rather unconventional manner. This snapshot provides insight into British politics at that time, highlighting the occupation and profession of these politicians. It also alludes to their involvement in alcohol-related matters as there are references to gin and drink throughout. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this historical artifact offers viewers a glimpse into Britain's heritage during the eighteenth century. With its detailed depiction of individuals engaged in political discourse, it serves as both an artistic representation and documentation of this era.
