James Gillray - Lady Godina's Rout;—or—Peeping-Tom spying out Pope-Joan

James Gillray  1757-1815


Lady Godina's Rout;—or—Peeping-Tom spying out Pope-Joan

  James Gillray - Lady Godina's Rout;—or—Peeping-Tom spying out Pope-Joan


SUMMARY: A fashionable crowd playing cards at two tables. In the foreground, four people playing the game Pope-Joan. One of the women is wearing a loose fitting semi-transparent dress with her breasts exposed. Behind her, peering down her dress, is a man who is about to cut off a candle due to his distracted state. Rear view of a fat woman dominates the left side of the picture.


MEDIUM: 1 print : etching, hand-colored.


CREATED/PUBLISHED: [London] : H. Humphrey, 1796 March 12th.


According to the National Portrait Gallery of the UK, the caricature refers to Lady Georgiana Gordon (1781–1853), Duchess of Bedford from 1803 until her death; the title and the lecherous servant refer to Lady Godiva. Pope-Joan is a card game; Lady "Godina" is holding the diamond nine, which is called the "Pope" in that game. The man sitting on Lady "Godina"'s right is John Sneyd (1763–1835); the fat woman sitting on her left is Albinia, Countess of Buckinghamshire (died 1816).
