The Two Patriotic Duchesses on their Canvass, 1784
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Thomas Rowlandson that captures a significant moment in British political history. The artwork portrays sisters-in-law Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and Dorothy, Duchess of Portland, fervently campaigning for the Whig party candidate Charles James Fox during the Westminster election of 1784. The image showcases the two duchesses engaging in lively canvassing activities as they navigate through a bustling street. Dressed elegantly in Georgian fashion, they exude confidence and determination as they interact with passersby. Their presence alone commands attention and reflects their unwavering commitment to promoting their preferred candidate. One particularly scandalous incident depicted in this artwork involves Georgiana's alleged encounter with a butcher. It was widely reported that she had kissed him in exchange for his promise to vote for Fox—an act that sparked both controversy and amusement among the public. Rowlandson's satirical approach adds an element of humor to this politically charged scene. Through clever visual cues such as fox brushes adorning their hats or references to butchers' shops and joints of meat, he effectively conveys the bribery allegations surrounding Georgiana's actions. Overall, "The Two Patriotic Duchesses on their Canvass" serves as a fascinating historical document capturing not only the intense campaign efforts during an important election but also shedding light on the role played by influential women like Georgiana and Dorothy in shaping political discourse during this era.
