A Drunken Gentleman's Hilarious Encounter with a Horse, 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this chromolithograph by Henry Thomas Alken, we are transported back to the early 20th century and witness a comical scene unfold. A drunken gentleman, clearly under the influence of alcohol, finds himself in an amusing predicament as he attempts to put a racehorse's hind feet into his dressing-gown pockets. The stables serve as the backdrop for this spectacle, where a horrified trainer and other gentlemen look on in disbelief. The artist skillfully captures the expressions of shock and amusement on the faces of those witnessing this absurdity. The horse itself appears bewildered by its encounter with such an intoxicated individual. This artwork is a chromolithographic facsimile from "Memoirs of the Life of the Late John Mytton" by Nimrod (Charles James Apperley), published in London in 1900. This whimsical image not only highlights society's fascination with high society antics but also serves as a reminder of how alcohol can lead individuals to engage in foolish behavior. It offers us a glimpse into British culture during that time period and showcases Alken's talent for capturing both human folly and animal expression. As we admire this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate it not only for its artistic merit but also for its ability to transport us back to an era filled with laughter, astonishment, and perhaps even reflection on our own encounters with intoxication.
