Lady Godina’s Rout – or – Peeping Tom Spying out Pope Joan – James Gillray – 1847

A special satirical print Lady Godina is a play on Lady Godiva. Pope-Joan is a card game and Lady Godina is holding the nine of diamonds which represents Pope Joan (the Pope that was said to be a lady). Note Voyager have an original Georgian Pope Joan Board for sale … see our Curiosities Section.

A fashionable crowd, with two card tables, a round table in the foreground at which four persons play Pope-Joan. The most conspicuous is a pretty young woman directed to the left who is Lady Georgiana Gordon the Duchess of Bedford (1781-1853). Her semi-transparent draperies revealing her person leaving her breasts almost uncovered. A leering man stands behind her chair, negligently holding candle snuffers to a candle on the table, in order to peer down her décolletage. A stout lady in back view, sitting on a stool is Albinia Countess of Buckinghamshire, a little girl, and an elderly man (Dr John Sneyd 1763-1835) complete the table. On the right is another card-table at which three persons are playing. Standing figures freely sketched for the background, the whole design being dominated by the erect feathers of the ladies, usually springing from a turban

James Gillray first produced this comic caricature in 1796. This issue in 1847 was published by Henry Bohn in London and whilst later is on a grander scale than the original. Expertly coloured.

Exquisite Fungi Model – Boletus Pinophilus

French (who else) model of the edible fungi Boletus Pinophilus. Made likely just after WWII and still in near perfect condition. Stands 17 cms tall and is made to a high standard. Commonly known as the Pine Bolete or Pinewood King Bolete this beauty is regarded as a form of porcini.

Quite common in Europe in pine forests – including Scotland and the South of France where it seems to be more prolific. The flesh is white, soft and does not change colour when bruised. The taste is pleasant and has been likened to pork and pork crackling (yummy).

Collectable Fungi for those that understand and desire them. Click on me to see my proud fungusness!
