Sir Gregory Gigg, 1732 - A Glimpse into the Elegant World of Eighteenth Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the refined era of the eighteenth century in Britain. The subject of this illustration is Sir Gregory Gigg, a distinguished gentleman who epitomizes the fashion and style of his time. Dressed impeccably in his elaborate attire, Sir Gregory sits proudly atop a horse-drawn vehicle known as a gig. His hat adds an air of sophistication while he confidently holds the whip, symbolizing his control over both horse and carriage. In the distance, we can see a milestone marking their progress along the road. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Henry William Bunbury, renowned for his social caricatures that captured society's nuances with wit and charm. This particular illustration was included in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" a book by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), published in London in 1905. Through over two hundred illustrations like this one, Bunbury and Paston provided readers with an intimate glimpse into life during this period. The attention to detail showcased here transports us back to an era where elegance reigned supreme. As we admire Sir Gregory Gigg's portrait today, we are reminded not only of his individuality but also how art can serve as a window into history – allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and cultural significance for generations to come.
