EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a design for a new gallery of busts and pictures. The engraving, created in 1792 by James Gillray, offers an intriguing interior view of a portrait gallery filled with historical figures. At the center of attention are two frowning busts depicting Demosthenes and Cicero, emanating an air of seriousness and wisdom. Between them stands Charles J. Fox's bust, symbolizing his significant presence in this artistic space. Above these remarkable sculptures hang two prints featuring Catherine II of Russia. In one titled "Justice" she is portrayed on the verge of stabbing a sultan, while in the other named "Moderation" she gracefully faces a map encompassing Moldavia, Bessarabia, and Wallachia. Dominating the scene is an inscription within a crowned circle that reads "Conjugal Love". Below it lies an intriguing artwork entitled "A Cure for Hemorrhoidal Colic Within Which Is A Rope Noose". This engraved image showcases not only Gillray's illustrative technique but also provides us with glimpses into history through its depiction of influential figures and symbolic representations. It evokes nostalgia for traditional art forms from centuries past while offering viewers insight into cultural values and societal norms during that time period.
