EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and humorous print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Mock Turtle, January 24,1785" we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Britain. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in his depiction of a group of people gathered around a table, indulging in a peculiar feast. At the center of the scene stands a man dressed as a mock turtle, complete with an intricately designed shell on his back. With mischievous delight, he puckers up his lips towards a woman seated across from him. The playful atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of various birds fluttering about - their colorful plumage adding splashes of vibrancy to the composition. Rowlandson's hand-colored etching captures not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of these characters. Their animated expressions and gestures suggest that they are partaking in some sort of comical ritual involving soup made from turtles or perhaps even mocking it altogether. This artwork serves as both entertainment and social commentary on British society during this era. It reflects upon concepts such as food culture and human behavior while infusing them with satire and wit. Now preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print invites us to step into an imaginative world where animals take on human traits and laughter fills the air.
