Newmarket - A Shot at a Pigeon, August 1,1801
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a whimsical moment in British history. This black and white etching by James Bretherton transports us to the vibrant world of early 19th century England. The scene unfolds in Newmarket, Suffolk, renowned for its horse racing heritage. In this satirical caricature, we witness a comical interaction between two men dressed in Georgian fashion. Henry William Bunbury and Geoffrey Gambado take center stage as they engage in an animated conversation. With exaggerated hand gestures and playful expressions, they seem to be discussing their next move. The focal point of the image is a pigeon perched on top of a post. Its presence adds intrigue to the scene – what could these gentlemen possibly be plotting? Is there more than meets the eye? Bretherton's keen sense of humor shines through as he uses satire to poke fun at societal norms and customs prevalent during that era. The artist masterfully combines elements of animal imagery with human behavior to create this clever parody. Now housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical context. It offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and immerse themselves in the wit and charm of early 19th century Britain.
