The Five ALLs
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical masterpiece by Scottish caricaturist John Kay, created in the 18th century. This intriguing print depicts five distinct characters, each with their unique perspective on the word "All." From the left, we encounter the first figure, a Vicar, who solemnly declares "I Pray For All." Dressed in traditional ecclesiastical attire, complete with a long robe and a high, ornate wig, he represents the religious aspect of the community, offering prayers and seeking divine intervention for all. Next, we find a Barrister, who proudly states "I Plead For All." Dressed in the fashionable robes and wigs of the time, this gentleman symbolizes the legal system and the pursuit of justice for all. He stands with a quill pen in hand, ready to argue for the rights of every man. The third figure is a Farmer, who confidently asserts "I Maintain For All." Dressed in traditional 18th-century farming attire, this sturdy man represents the agricultural community and the importance of maintaining the land and providing for all. He holds a scythe, symbolizing his hard work and dedication. The Military Officer, the fourth figure, declares "I Fight For All." Dressed in full military regalia, he represents the protection and defense of the community. With a sword in hand, he stands ready to defend the rights and freedoms of all, no matter the cost. In a wicked twist, the devil, disguised as a gentleman, appears on the right-hand side, stating "I Take All." Dressed in fashionable 18th-century clothing, this cunning figure represents the temptation and corruption that lurks in the shadows. With a sly smirk, he symbolizes the loss of righteousness and the ultimate taking of all. This print, created by the talented hand of John Kay, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of the 18th century, showcasing the various aspects of society and the human condition through satire and wit.
