EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Waltzer au Mouchoir" takes us back to the vibrant world of Georgian society in the early 19th century. Created by renowned artist James Gillray, this satirical piece offers a humorous commentary on the fashionable ballroom dances of the time. In this scene, we are introduced to an unlikely pair taking center stage. A rotund and jolly female dancer, with her wide girth and horn instrument in hand, leads a wiry and thin male partner through a waltz. Their contrasting physiques create a comical juxtaposition that adds to the overall satire. The opulent ballroom setting is adorned with an exquisite chandelier illuminating their every move. The musicians' gallery above showcases other talented performers providing lively melodies for dancers below. Gillray's keen eye for detail captures not only the physical attributes but also highlights the latest fashion trends of that era. While our leading lady embraces her voluptuous figure, her partner embodies the slender silhouette favored during Hanoverian times. Through this print, Gillray invites us into a world where dance becomes both entertainment and social commentary. It serves as a reminder that even within high society circles, there is room for laughter and light-heartedness amidst all its pomp and grandeur.
