High Life at Noon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intriguing print from the year 1769, showcasing an interior scene of a room filled with an eclectic mix of individuals engaged in various activities. The room is filled with an air of excitement and anticipation as two men and two women take a leisurely tea break. On the left, a man with an exceptionally long ponytail, presumably Jere Buckram, tries to prevent the entrance of a messenger delivering a bill from Lord Rakish. The bill, "To Sundry Suits of Cloaths... 47q : 6:6," indicates that Jere may be in financial trouble. The man's determined expression and the messenger's surprised look add to the tension in the scene. At the center, a man seated at the table, possibly a wealthy and powerful figure, places a hand on the breast of the woman standing next to him. He offers her biscuits from a plate, while a clergyman, holding an open tract titled "A Sermon - I am Sick of Love," engages in a serious conversation with the woman on his left. The woman in question, however, seems more interested in the letter she is receiving from her lover, which is being discreetly delivered by a page, her confidant. In the foreground, a monkey sits on the floor, engrossed in "A Dissertation on Winding up the Clock by Tristram Shandy," while a squirrel perches on a stool. A caged bird in the background adds to the intrigue with its cryptic message, "Caesar and Pompey were both of them Horned." This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the high society of the 18th century, with its complex social dynamics, financial intrigues, and clandestine romantic rendezvous. The inclusion of animals adds a whimsical touch to the scene, making it a truly intriguing and captivating work of art.
