EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in London's past, showcasing the St George's Volunteers charging down Bond Street with unwavering determination. The etching, created by James Gillray and published by Mrs Hannah Humphrey in 1797, offers a sardonic perspective on the military significance of this voluntary movement. Gillray's artwork humorously portrays the volunteers as gallant soldiers clearing female shoppers from the bustling Bond Street. With their infantry charge, they exude an air of bravery and purpose while navigating through the chaos of city life. This scene is part of a larger narrative that includes clearing the Ring in Hyde Park and storming the Dunghill at MarlyboneA. The coloured etching not only showcases Gillray's artistic talent but also sheds light on societal norms and gender roles during this era. It playfully juxtaposes traditional notions of femininity with images of women being displaced by these valiant volunteers. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this print serves as a reminder of how art can provide commentary on historical events while offering glimpses into society at large. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate its intricate details and reflect upon how it encapsulates both satire and social observations within its frame.
