EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1812, immersing us in the world of comic pantomime. Titled "Grimaldis Tandem in the Comic Pantomime of the Golden Fish" this image captures a moment of whimsy and laughter. At its center, we see a chariot-like cart being pulled by two energetic dogs, their tongues hanging out as they eagerly navigate through an unseen path. The driver of this unconventional vehicle is none other than Joseph Grimaldi himself, a renowned actor known for his comedic genius. Dressed in an elaborate costume that exudes playfulness and eccentricity, Grimaldi embodies the essence of comedy. His face adorned with exaggerated makeup and a mischievous smile hints at the hilarity that awaits audiences during his performance. Intriguingly, one can spot a syringe attached to Grimaldi's belt. This peculiar detail adds an air of mystery to the scene - what role does it play? Is it part of his act or perhaps a prop for another character? The engraving technique used here beautifully captures every intricate detail, from Grimaldi's expressive features to each strand on the dogs' fur. It transports us into this historical moment where humor reigns supreme. Published over two centuries ago but still resonating today, this print reminds us that laughter is timeless. It serves as both a testament to Joseph Grimaldi's enduring legacy as well as an invitation for viewers
