Exaltation of Faro's daughters [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[12 May 1796]eng"Lady Buckinghamshire (left) and Lady Archer (right) stand side by side in the pillory, heads and hands closely confined, their heads in profile to the right, weeping angrily. Both wear tall feathers in their hair and large pendent ear-rings. Lady Buckinghamshire is forced to stand painfully on tip-toe, a short petticoat exposes her fat legs. On the front of the platform is a placard: 'Cure for Gambling Publish'd by Lord Kenyon in the Court of Kings Bench on May 9th 1796'. This is raised above the (freely sketched) heads of the crowd, with grinning upturned faces in the foreground. Eggs, a cat, &c. fly through the air; the pillory and the dresses of the victims are bespattered. On the right is a house with spectators in the windows."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Pillories -- Jewelry: earrings -- Allusion to 'faro-banks' -- Cards: faro -- Reference to Lloyd Kenyon, Baron Kenyon, 1732-1802.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 36.3 x 26.1 cm, on sheet 40.3 x 29.4 cm.Watermark: J.
