EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned statesman and wit, George Selwyn (1719-1791), in the company of his two close friends, Richard Edgecumbe and Gilly Williams. The trio stands in a lively and animated conversation, their expressions suggesting a shared sense of humor and camaraderie. Selwyn, dressed in the height of 18th-century fashion, is the central figure, his piercing gaze fixed on Edgecumbe as they exchange words. Edgecumbe, with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, seems to be goading Selwyn into a response, while Williams, with a mischievous grin, looks on, ready to join in the banter. George Selwyn was a prominent figure in British politics and society during the late 18th century. He served as a Member of Parliament for several constituencies and was known for his sharp wit and eloquence in debate. His friendship with Edgecumbe and Williams, both of whom were also prominent figures in their own right, is a testament to his charisma and ability to form lasting connections. The print, though its exact origin is unknown, offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time and the importance of friendship and camaraderie in the lives of influential figures. The lively interaction between the three men also underscores the significance of humor and wit as essential tools for navigating the complexities of 18th-century politics and society.
