EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dove-tailing" is a humorous and clever play on words, engraved by George Hunt and published by Thomas Mclean in 1827. The artwork showcases the wit of the English School from the 19th century, now housed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK. In this satirical scene set within an office, we see a female figure standing behind a desk with a bill in hand. She appears to be shouting or expressing her frustration while holding a walking stick or cane for added emphasis. A dog stands nearby, adding to the chaotic atmosphere. The artist ingeniously combines various elements related to finance and payment methods into this caricature-like composition. From the receipt on the desk to references of debt and ferocious financial dealings, every detail adds depth to this sarcastic commentary on financial matters. The use of color lithography enhances the visual impact of this print, making it even more engaging for viewers. With its witty wordplay and sharp satire, "Dove-tailing" offers both amusement and social critique that transcends time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece as part of their collection at Fine Art Finder. It serves as a testament to artistic ingenuity and provides us with insight into historical perspectives on money matters through artistry's lens.
