EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "City Trained Bands: satire on the militias associated with the City of London and the panic generated by the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion" takes us back to a tumultuous period in British history. Created by Frederick William Fairholt, this satirical artwork offers a humorous commentary on the events surrounding the rebellion. In this scene, we witness a lively procession through the streets of London. The city's trained bands, depicted as an array of animals including an elephant and a pig, march proudly in their uniforms while playing instruments. Their comical appearance adds an element of whimsy to this otherwise serious subject matter. The image serves as both social commentary and entertainment, mocking not only the militias but also highlighting the panic that gripped London during this time. It is part of Thomas Wright's "Caricature History of the Georges or Annals of House Hanover" which compiled various political caricatures from that era. Through its clever use of satire and humor, this engraving captures a snapshot of British society during one of its most challenging periods. It reminds us that even in times of turmoil, there is room for levity and laughter amidst chaos. This print stands as a testament to human resilience and our ability to find joy even in difficult circumstances.
