EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chapter of Noses, pub. 1834 (hand coloured engraving) captures the whimsical and satirical genius of George Cruikshank. In this intriguing print, we are transported to a scene where noses take center stage. The artist humorously depicts various nose types, from bulbous and snub to long and pointed, each with its own distinctive character. The focal point of the image is St Dunstan's method of pulling a fellow's nose - an amusing gesture that adds a touch of mischief to the composition. With tongs in hand, St Dunstan demonstrates the most approved technique for engaging in this mischievous act. Cruikshank's attention to detail is evident as he portrays men tapping their noses or holding them delicately while others proudly display their unique nasal features. The hand-colored engravings bring vibrancy and life to each individual depicted in the artwork. This piece from The Stapleton Collection offers viewers a delightful glimpse into Victorian humor and satire. It reminds us that art can be both visually appealing and intellectually stimulating, inviting us to contemplate society's obsession with physical attributes. As we admire this print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again that art has the power not only to entertain but also provoke thought about our own perceptions.
