Description: James Gillray Elements of Skating: A Fundamental Error in the Art of Skaiting" hand-colored etching, published November 24th, 1805 by Hannah Humphrey This particular caricature is from a series of four prints by Gillray titled 'Elements of Skateing'. In the time of Gillray, ice-skating was still a relatively new activity in Britain, and was largely restricted to the aristocracy and the upper classes upon its emergence. Through the illustration of members of the upper classes partaking in idiotic actions whilst ice-skating, Gillray was able to offer a more general commentary on the higher ranked individuals of society. visible image measures approximately: 14 1/2" W x 10 1/2" H frame measures approximately: 20 1/2" W x 16 1/2" H
