Pidgeon Hole - A Covent Garden Contrivance to Coop Up the Gods - An 1811 Satirical Engraving by Thomas Rowlandson
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing engraving by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Pidgeon Hole - A Covent Garden Contrivance to Coop Up the Gods" offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the world of Georgian theater. Part of a series called Teggs Caricatures, this artwork takes aim at the pigeon holes that flanked the upper gallery at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. In this grotesque and comical scene, we see a row of exaggerated heads peering out from these pigeon holes. These heads represent members of the audience or "the gods" who occupied these cramped spaces during performances. The artist's intention is clear – to mock and highlight the absurdity of such seating arrangements. Rowlandson's caricature captures both the humor and social commentary prevalent in his work. The cartoonish style adds an element of whimsy while emphasizing the exaggerated features and expressions on each face. Through this visual satire, he invites viewers to reflect on class divisions within society and perhaps even question their own experiences as theater-goers. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that Rowlandson was not only a skilled artist but also a keen observer of human behavior. His ability to capture moments like these with wit and creativity has made him one of England's most celebrated caricaturists.
