Humbugging or Raising the Devil
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and whimsical print by Thomas Rowlandson that takes us back to the year 1800. This color lithograph, now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, showcases Rowlandson's exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The scene depicts an intriguing gathering of characters engaged in various acts of sorcery and trickery. A wizard stands at the center, invoking dark forces with his incantations while surrounded by a menagerie of mystical creatures including a crocodile and a black cat. The air is thick with smoke as spells are cast and demons summoned. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident throughout this piece - from the mischievous pickpocket lurking in the shadows to the snake slithering across the floor. Each element adds depth and intrigue to this fantastical world he has created. With its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, "Humbugging or Raising the Devil" transports viewers into a realm where magic reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder of both our fascination with supernatural powers and our susceptibility to deception. This print not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also offers us an opportunity to reflect on human nature itself - our desires for power, our vulnerability to manipulation, and ultimately, our endless quest for wonderment in all its forms.
