Disappointed Dandies - Or a Vain Attempt to Get a Peep at the Fair Circassian
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Henry E. O. O'Connor, we are transported back to the year 1819, where vanity and humor collide in an amusing scene. The artwork depicts Lords Petersham and Yarmouth, along with the Prince Regent and the Marquis of Worcester, engaging in a comical competition for the attention of a beautiful Circassian woman. With pen, brush, ink, and watercolor on paper, O'Connor skillfully captures the essence of these dandies' desperation as they vie for this elusive beauty's favor. Published by Fores in May 1818, this caricature showcases their exaggerated expressions of disappointment when realizing that their attempts to catch even a glimpse of her have been futile. The artist's humorous touch shines through as he pokes fun at these gentlemen who are so consumed by their own vanity that they become unwitting subjects of ridicule themselves. Through clever cartooning techniques and vivid colors, O'Connor brings life to this satirical portrayal. Measuring 21x33 cm and held within a private collection today, "Disappointed Dandies" remains an enduring piece that encapsulates both the allure and folly of human desire. It serves as a reminder that sometimes our pursuit of beauty can lead us down paths filled with unexpected twists and turns – leaving us disappointed but providing endless amusement for those observing from afar.
