EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Vices Overlooked in the New Proclamation" captures a satirical and scandalous scene from the late 18th century. Created by James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey in 1792, this hand-colored etching offers a glimpse into the world of political intrigue, immorality, and debauchery. At first glance, we see a group of prominent figures from the Georgian era engaged in various vices. The central focus is on the Duke of Clarence, later known as King William IV (1765-1837), who is depicted embracing Mrs. Jordan (1761-1816), an actress with whom he had numerous illegitimate children. This scandalous affair was widely gossiped about during their time. Surrounding them are other members of the royal family, including Queen Charlotte and George III. Their presence suggests that even those at the highest levels of society were not immune to moral corruption and greed. The image also alludes to political censorship through references to the New Proclamation, which aimed to suppress seditious meetings and writings. However, it seems that these vices have been conveniently overlooked or ignored despite their blatant display. This artwork serves as both social commentary and entertainment for viewers today. It provides insight into the excesses and scandals that plagued Georgian society while reminding us that human flaws transcend time and status.
