EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical hand-colored print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Plate 27, from World in Miniature, 1816" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th century Britain. The scene captures a lively moment outside a traditional British pub or public house. The focal point of the image is an amusingly rotund man with a jolly expression on his face and an unmistakably large belly. He sits atop a horse-drawn gig, which was a popular mode of transportation during that era. The vehicle is filled with children who seem to be thoroughly enjoying their playful ride. Rowlandson's satirical touch can be seen in the exaggerated proportions of both the man and the children. Through humor and wit, he gently pokes fun at societal norms surrounding body size and weight. The vibrant colors used in this hand-tinted print bring life to every detail - from the intricate architectural features of the building behind them to the lush greenery lining the road. It showcases Rowlandson's skill as an artist and his ability to create engaging scenes that captivate viewers. This delightful artwork is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, preserving it as part of our cultural heritage for generations to come. It serves as a charming reminder that art has always been able to entertain us while also offering subtle social commentary on our human condition.
