A Bit of Blood, 1787
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant streets of eighteenth-century Britain. Created by W Dickinson and featuring over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), this artwork offers a glimpse into the social caricature of the time. In this scene, we see a male rider on horseback, confidently navigating his way through the bustling city. The monochrome palette adds an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us to an era where horses were not just means of transportation but also symbols of status and power. A signpost catches our attention with its inscription: "The bridle-way to Horse-lydown". It serves as a reminder that even in those times, urban areas had designated paths for equestrians. This detail highlights how deeply ingrained horsemanship was in British culture during the eighteenth century. The artist's skillful rendering captures both the gracefulness of the horse and the determination on its rider's face. We can almost feel their connection as they navigate through a sea of people and other animals crowding around them. This print is part of The Print Collector collection curated by Henry William Bunbury. Its inclusion in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" speaks volumes about its historical significance and artistic value. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate how it encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a testament to Britain's rich heritage and love affair with
