EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Nightly Visitors at St Anns Hill, 1798" by James Gillray, takes us back to a whimsical and humorous scene from the late 18th century. The print showcases an array of nightly visitors that have invaded the bedrooms of unsuspecting individuals. With a touch of macabre and satire, Gillray's cartoon-like depiction captures the essence of fear and horror mixed with comedic elements. The bedroom setting becomes a stage for these bizarre encounters as we witness frightened figures crying, weeping, and expressing their utmost terror in response to these unexpected guests. The artist's imaginative vision transports us into a world where reality blends seamlessly with the absurd. Each visitor seems to embody its own unique brand of frightfulness – from ghostly apparitions to peculiar creatures lurking in the shadows. This satirical portrayal invites viewers to reflect on our deepest fears while simultaneously tickling our funny bones. Published by Hannah Humphrey in 1798, this engraving offers a glimpse into both historical context and artistic mastery. Courtesy of the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, it serves as a testament to Gillray's talent for capturing human emotions through his intricate engravings. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork from centuries past, let us embrace its timeless appeal – reminding ourselves that even amidst darkness and uncertainty, there is always room for laughter and levity.
