EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Whim of the Moment: A Royal Procession Amidst Public Discontent, 1789 2. Description: This print, titled "The Whim of the Moment," depicts a grand royal coach drawn by the noble horses Faith and Hope, making its way through a boisterous crowd on May 27, 1789. The coach is adorned with the label "German" above the seat where a crowned figure sits, indicating the monarch's nationality. The coachman, riding on the back, brandishes a rod or sword bearing the inscription "New Taxes - Sugar & Candles, &c." The scene is filled with shouts of "Huzza," expressing the crowd's enthusiasm, yet the overall mood is one of discontent and unease. 3. Context: The late 18th century was a time of significant political and economic turmoil in Europe, particularly in Britain. This print reflects the growing tensions between the monarchy and the public, as the burden of new taxes weighed heavily on the common people. The presence of the German monarch in this print may allude to the ongoing tension between Britain and its European neighbors, adding another layer of complexity to the political climate. 4. Artistic Style: The print showcases the intricacy and detail typical of British cartoons from this era. The use of bold lines, vivid colors, and expressive figures effectively conveys the energy and emotion of the scene. The juxtaposition of the grandeur of the royal coach with the disorderly crowd adds a sense of irony and commentary on the political situation. 5. Significance: "The Whim of the Moment" serves as a visual representation of the complex and tumultuous political landscape of late 18th-century Europe. It highlights the growing discontent of the public towards the monarchy and the economic hardships brought about by new taxes. The print's vivid imagery and commentary make it a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the political and social issues of the time.
