So Skiffy-Skipt-on, with his wonted grace
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the year 1800. Created by renowned artist James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey, this hand-coloured etching showcases the fashionable costume of the era in exquisite detail. The central figure depicted in the print is Sir Lumley St. George Skeffington, a prominent playwright and socialite of Georgian society. With his elegant attire consisting of breeches, pointed shoes, and an embroidered jacket, he exudes sophistication and style. His queue hairstyle adds a touch of refinement to his overall appearance. Gillray's satirical approach shines through as he playfully exaggerates certain feminine qualities in Sir Lumley's portrayal. The tight-fitting clothes accentuate his graceful movements while white gloves and a high collar add an air of formality to his demeanor. This caricature serves as both social commentary and entertainment for its viewers. It highlights the fashion trends prevalent during that time period while subtly poking fun at societal norms and expectations surrounding gender roles. Through this engraving, Gillray masterfully captures the essence of Georgian elegance while infusing it with humor and satire. "So Skiffy-Skipt-on" remains a testament to the artistic talent of James Gillray and offers us a glimpse into the world of literature, fashion, and society during one of history's most fascinating eras.
