A Cornish Hug, 1781 - A Snapshot of Life in 18th Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "A Cornish Hug, 1781" offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling streets of Georgian England. In this lively scene captured by an anonymous artist, we witness a humorous encounter between a fishwife and a dandy that has attracted quite an audience. The fishwife, her face etched with anger, holds the hapless dandy aloft as punishment for upsetting her stall. His annoyed expression is evident as he flails helplessly in her firm grip. Onlookers surround them; to the left stands an apple woman observing the spectacle with amusement while on the right, a man and woman applaud their performance. In the background looms Billingsgate, its grandeur contrasting with the chaos unfolding in front of it. The masts of ships at Billingsgate Wharf serve as a reminder of London's bustling maritime trade during this era. Created by John Nixon and housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this engraving captures not only individual characters but also provides insight into various professions prevalent at that time - from street sellers like fruit vendors to market traders showcasing their wares. With its satirical undertones and attention to detail in costume and setting, "A Cornish Hug" transports us back to 18th century England where daily life was filled with colorful characters amidst busy markets and thriving docks.
