EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Botheration, December 21,1785" captures a scene from the bustling Kings Bench court in 18th century Britain. Created by Samuel Alken, this black and white etching showcases the chaotic nature of a law court during that era. The image depicts a group of barristers engrossed in paperwork and documents while their clients anxiously await their turn for justice. Samuel Alken's satirical approach to portraying this legal setting adds an element of humor to the scene. With meticulous attention to detail, he brings out the comical side of these serious proceedings. The men in wigs and robes appear overwhelmed by stacks of contracts and papers, creating an atmosphere filled with confusion and frustration. This artwork is reminiscent of Thomas Rowlandson's style, known for his humorous illustrations depicting various aspects of society at that time. Through his masterful technique, Alken successfully captures both the essence and absurdity of courtroom life. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece serves as a testament to Alken's skill as an artist and his ability to convey social commentary through satire. It offers viewers a glimpse into the legal system during the late 18th century while also highlighting universal themes such as bureaucracy and human folly. Overall, "Botheration, December 21,1785" is not only visually captivating but also provides valuable insight into historical British culture through its witty depiction of lawyers immersed in paperwork within a chaotic courtroom environment
