Your favourite Northern One returns, with the second episode in our Autumn Series of truth and knowledge bombs about stuff that all happened 170 years ago.
In this episode, he sing songs about badgers before expanding on the ideas explored in the first episode in the series. Then, he talked about Turner. In this he talks about William Frith and the rise of the commercial, savvy artist who realised that fame, fortune and mistresses lay not necessarily in representing only the rich and powerful but in capturing and intensifying the world around them.
Yes, for the first time, plebs begin to appear in art! And prostitutes! And pickpockets! And poor people!
To follow along, please look up William Frith's Ramsgate Sands and Derby Darby day; Cruikshank's London Comes to Town; and Rodgers, Hammerstein, Hart, Gilbert and Sullivan's celebrated South Sea Badgers musical.
One of the greatest musicals ever written.
Fact.
Buy us a coffee - and we'll stop doing this stuff.
Maybe.
