EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph titled "Perdito and Perdita - or - the Man & Woman of the People" captures a satirical moment in history, depicting the Prince of Wales and his mistress, Mrs Mary Robinson. The image portrays a flamboyant open carriage with a disheveled and unshaven prince alongside an equally miserable actress. The caption suggests that Mrs Robinson's extravagant lifestyle has left the prince penniless. The artwork references their roles in David Garrick's adaptation of Shakespeare's "A Winter's Tale" where Mrs Robinson caught the attention of the prince. Despite their love for each other, financial difficulties plague them both as depicted by the phrase, "I have not fifty ducats in the world & yet I am in love". This Georgian-era print showcases themes of high maintenance, regency fashion, adultery, and palace life. It offers a glimpse into society's fascination with scandalous relationships during this time period. The artist Thomas Colley skillfully captures the essence of their tumultuous affair through intricate details such as their expressions and body language. This lithograph serves as a historical artifact shedding light on one aspect of royal life that was often hidden from public view. This particular print is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all who are intrigued by artistry that combines satire with social commentary.
