EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver - Plate II" we are transported to a moment of amusement and laughter in the presence of Napoleon. As described by a French writer, the English people found humor in their own "cockle-shells" which had accidentally caused some soldiers to fall into the water during an event attended by Napoleon himself. This etching captures not only that comical incident but also includes a delightful caricature of the Lord Chamberlain standing behind the royal chair. The Royal Family, depicted here, thoroughly enjoyed this artwork, finding it vastly amusing. The scene portrayed in this print is filled with vibrant energy and intriguing details. We can see men and women gathered around a boat, guards standing tall beside them, while the King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver take center stage on their thrones. Each character seems to have its own personality shining through their expressions and gestures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from TopFoto's collection entitled "Personalities" we are reminded of how art has always been able to capture moments that transcend time. This particular image serves as a testament to both historical events and human nature's universal love for laughter and satire
