"The Glutton: A Journey Through the Indulgent World of Excess" Step into a world where appetites know no bounds, as depicted in "The Plum Pudding in Danger, 1805. " This coloured engraving captures the essence of gluttony with a humanized elephant indulging in lavish feasts, embodying the role of a bon viveur. In this captivating journey, we encounter creatures driven by insatiable cravings. Witness the Honey badger and grison relentlessly pursuing their desires for sustenance in their natural habitats. Their relentless pursuit reminds us that gluttony exists not only among humans but also within nature itself. As we delve deeper into this exploration, "Portrait of a Man" reveals an individual whose voracious appetite is reflected through his gaze. The oil on canvas painting portrays his longing for culinary pleasures that go beyond mere sustenance. Indulgence takes center stage once again with "Large Boy Eats Large Pie, " showcasing how even our youngest can succumb to temptation when faced with irresistible delights. It serves as a reminder that gluttony knows no age limits. However, it is not just individuals who fall prey to excessive consumption; even those bound by religious vows are not immune. In an unexpected twist, we find Sister Jean, a pregnant nun sitting in her convent cell. Her story challenges societal expectations and highlights how even those devoted to spiritual pursuits may struggle with earthly desires. Moving forward through time, "G: Gourmande" from 1890 presents an illustration capturing the essence of gourmet indulgence—a celebration of fine dining and gastronomic pleasure at its finest. Further exploring this theme are illustrations titled "E F G H: Study Farmer Gourmet Heroine. " These vivid depictions showcase different facets of gluttonous behavior across various walks of life during the late 19th century—each character representing distinct aspects tied to indulgence and excess.
