EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Wet Under Foot" takes us back to the year 1812, where we find ourselves immersed in a bustling street scene during inclement weather. Published by Hannah Humphrey, this hand-coloured etching by James Gillray showcases his exceptional talent for caricature and satire. As rain pours down relentlessly, a comely washerwoman stands at the east end of an alleyway, her petticoat drenched and shawl clinging to her figure. With one hand holding up her skirt and the other grasping a fork, she navigates through cobblestones with remarkable skill on her chopines - elevated shoes that protect against wet ground. In this Georgian-era cartoon, Gillray humorously captures the absurdity of everyday life amidst stormy conditions. A buxom woman nearby struggles to keep herself dry under an umbrella while balancing a basket on stilts. The pillar behind them serves as a reminder of their perseverance despite the pouring rain. This lively scene not only offers entertainment but also provides insight into meteorology and climate science during that period. It reminds us of how people adapted to inclement weather with unique footwear choices like chopines and sought shelter under umbrellas. "Wet Under Foot" is not just an amusing depiction; it is also a testament to Gillray's artistic prowess in capturing both social commentary and scientific observations within one captivating image.
