EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts an intense moment during a trial in 18th century France, as an English gentleman stands before the tribunal at Avignon, accused by an old hag and her virtuous niece, Clara. The scene unfolds in a bustling courtyard, with onlookers gathered around the bench, their expressions a mix of curiosity, sympathy, and amusement. The old woman, with a scowl and a pointed finger, leans in close to the defendant, her voice raised in accusation. Clara, with a look of righteous indignation, embraces the gentleman, her hand gently touching his, as if to offer him comfort and support. In the background, various modes of transportation from the era add to the vibrant atmosphere: a horse-drawn carriage, a phaeton, and a gig are all present, while a coach and a leer make their way through the gate. The English gentleman, impeccably dressed in the fashion of the time, remains composed amidst the chaos, his gaze fixed on the old woman as the proceedings continue. This engraving is an illustration from Thomas Rowlandson's Journal of Sentimental Travels in the Southern Provinces of France, a popular travelogue of the period that was translated and abridged from Moritz August von Thummel's account of his journey through France in 1785-1786. The work, published by Rudolph Ackermann in London in 1821, is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between Europe and the British Isles during the 18th century, as well as the enduring appeal of travel and adventure.
