EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The New Vis A Vis Or Florizel Driving Perdita" takes us back to the pages of history, specifically to the Ramblers Magazine in August 1783. It showcases a contemporary satirical cartoon that delves into the scandalous affair between Florizel, the Prince of Wales, and his lover Perdita, also known as Mrs. Mary Robinson. In this engraving by Ken Welsh, we witness an intriguing scene where Florizel is depicted driving Perdita in a carriage. The illustration exudes a sense of secrecy and forbidden love as they navigate through society's judgmental gaze. The cartoon serves as a scathing satire on the monarchy during King George IV's reign. It cleverly captures the hypocrisy and moral decay within high society at that time. By using humor and irony, it criticizes both political figures like David Garrick and societal norms surrounding relationships. Welsh's horizontal composition adds depth to this historical moment while emphasizing its narrative impact. The attention to detail in every stroke brings out the emotions felt by these two lovers who dared to challenge conventions. "The New Vis A Vis Or Florizel Driving Perdita" is not just an ordinary image; it encapsulates an era filled with intrigue, passion, and controversy. As we delve into this piece of artistry from Design Pics' collection, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most scandalous love affairs unfold before our eyes.
