EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving captures the satirical essence of the relationship between Charles James Fox and Elizabeth Armistead, two prominent figures in 18th-century England. The caricature playfully depicts their unconventional love story, which began with Armistead working as a courtesan before eventually becoming Fox's wife. The image portrays an intimate scene within a bedroom, where an obese Fox is shown lying on a bed while smoking a pipe and holding a bedpan. Meanwhile, Armistead stands beside him, exuding confidence and allure. The room is filled with smoke from the pipe, creating an atmosphere of secrecy and intrigue. The artist skillfully uses satire to highlight various aspects of their relationship. A mischievous cat perches on the edge of the bed, symbolizing seduction and hinting at their passionate connection. A candle illuminates the scene but also serves as a metaphor for fleeting desire. Through this cartoonish portrayal, we glimpse into the Georgian era's fascination with scandalous relationships and societal norms. The exaggerated features emphasize both Fox's size and his amorous nature while showcasing Armistead's beauty and power over him. Overall, this print offers us insight into not only the personal lives of these historical figures but also provides commentary on love affairs during that time period. It serves as both entertainment for viewers and social critique wrapped in artistic brilliance.
