EDITORS COMMENTS
Exaltation of Faros Daughters, pub. 1796 (hand coloured engraving) captures a scandalous moment in Georgian society, immortalized by the satirical genius of James Gillray. In this print, we witness the downfall of two prominent women: Albinia, Countess of Buckinghamshire and Sarah Archer, Lady Archer. The alleged theft at the infamous Faro Bank serves as their undoing, leading to their public humiliation and punishment for indulging in gambling. Standing side by side on a platform adorned with ostentatious feathers and an extravagant headdress, they are surrounded by a jeering mob armed with rotten vegetables. Gillray's social satire spares no detail as he depicts these dissolute females in all their frivolity and vice. Their luxurious gowns and fashionable accessories only serve to highlight their moral laxity. The ostrich plume adorning Lady Buckinghamshire's turban symbolizes her extravagant lifestyle while Lady Archer's earrings reflect her love for fashion. This caricature not only throws light on the immoral practices within aristocratic circles but also serves as a cautionary tale against excessive gambling and extravagance. Through his masterful artistry, Gillray exposes the vices that lurk beneath the surface of high society. As we gaze upon this historical portrait frozen in time, we are reminded that even those who seem untouchable can fall from grace when consumed by greed and folly.
