EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Regency-era scene, a gentleman, dressed in the height of fashion with a bicorne hat perched on his head, struggles to maintain control of his horse as it barely lifts its feet, giving the impression of a clumsy walk. The error in the gentleman's horsemanship is not going unnoticed as a woman, positioned in the foreground, lets out a scream from the safety of a thatched cottage. The horse, seemingly startled, has just collided with a pig that darted across its path. The humorous and intricately detailed handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Thomas Rowlandson after an illustration by Henry Bunbury, is taken from Geoffrey Gambado's An Academy for Grown Horsemen and Annals of Horsemanship, published in London in 1809. The print satirizes the notion that one can become an accomplished horseman overnight, highlighting the importance of proper education and practice. The gentleman's ill-equipped saddle, the slack reins, and the absent use of a whip all contribute to the horse's unruly behavior. The scene is a testament to the challenges of mastering the art of horsemanship, and the potential consequences of a mistaken notion that one can tame a horse without proper instruction. The caricatured depiction of the gentleman's disheveled appearance and the chaos that ensues adds to the overall amusement of the print.
