EDITORS COMMENTS
Man's encounter with the unexpected and unwelcome in the drawing room: A Regency-era scene of misfortune and mischief. In this handcoloured copperplate engraving designed and etched by Thomas Rowlandson, we find a man in disbelief as he is attacked by both a parrot and a cat in the comfort of his own drawing room. The woman in the background, seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding before her, is engrossed in her reading, her lantern casting an eerie glow in the dimly lit room. The storm raging outside, with its wind and rain, adds to the sense of unease and disquiet. The parrot, with its sharp beak and menacing expression, is in full attack mode, while the cat, with its claws outstretched, is poised to strike. The man's valiant attempts to defend himself are in vain, as he is caught off guard and unable to escape the clutches of his unwelcome assailants. This satirical illustration, originally published in Reverend James Beresford's "Miseries of Human Life" in 1808 by Ackermann, offers a humorous yet poignant commentary on the unpredictability and miseries of life. The man's lost peace and tranquility in the countryside, a common theme in Regency and Georgian literature, is a reminder that even in the most idyllic of settings, misfortune and mishap can strike without warning.
