EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively scene from the 18th century, titled "The City rout, 1776". In this satirical depiction of City manners in London, people are seen engaged in animated conversation at a grand party. The attire is representative of the era, with one individual wearing an aldermanic gown. Behind them, prominently displayed on a picture frame are the letters SPQL, symbolizing Senatus populusque Londoniensis. This clever caricature pokes fun at the social customs prevalent during that time. The image showcases both men and women dressed in Georgian fashion, their hairstyles and costumes reflecting the elegance of the period. The setting appears to be Guildhall Library and Art Gallery or another similar location where such gatherings were held. Each person seems engrossed in their discussion, emphasizing the importance placed on conversation during these events. While we do not know who created this anonymous engraving or etching, it serves as a fascinating glimpse into English society during the eighteenth century. It offers insight into how individuals interacted within different social strata while also providing entertainment through its satire.
