Miss Wicket and Miss Trigger, 1778 - A Captivating Blend of Sport and Feminism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mezzotint print, created by John Collet in 1778, showcases the remarkable talents of two Georgian women who challenge societal norms. Titled "Miss Wicket and Miss Trigger" this artwork measures 35.6x25.1 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art. In this scene, we witness a delightful fusion of male pursuits with a feminist twist. Miss Trigger confidently holds a shotgun while displaying her exceptional shooting skills, boasting an impressive tally of forty-five notches on her belt. On the other hand, Miss Wicket demonstrates her prowess in cricket with bat in hand and stumps set up behind her. The composition beautifully captures the spirit of outdoor sportsmanship as well as challenges conventional gender roles prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to these women's determination to participate in activities traditionally reserved for men. Beyond its sporting elements, this artwork also features hounds and game birds, adding depth to the scene's countryside ambiance. As we admire this piece from yesteryears' England, it reminds us that feminism has long been intertwined with various aspects of society throughout history. The boldness exhibited by these two female figures encourages us to celebrate their pursuit of equality amidst male-dominated domains.
