EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Two Georgian rectors in a churchyard in Oxford. 1831" takes us back to a bygone era of British society. The image showcases two distinguished clergymen, Doctor Broadbase and his companion, engrossed in an intriguing scene within the tranquil confines of an Oxford churchyard. The satirical drawing captures the essence of everyday life during the early 19th century with its meticulous attention to detail. Doctor Broadbase can be seen checking his pocket watch against a sundial, symbolizing the passage of time and perhaps hinting at the importance of punctuality even for men of God. The artist's handcolored wood engraving adds depth and vibrancy to this piece, highlighting both architectural elements such as monuments and churches as well as various individuals populating the scene. It offers a fascinating glimpse into Georgian England's customs and social fabric. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to an era where time was measured meticulously by pocket watches and where societal norms dictated one's conduct even within a serene cemetery setting. This print serves as a testament to Thomas Rowlandson's skillful artistry in capturing not only physical details but also subtle nuances that reflect broader aspects of British culture. Preserved in private collection today, this engraving from 1831 continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It stands as an enduring reminder of the rich tapestry that is Great Britain's past while inviting us to ponder upon our own place within the continuum of time.
