"And Has Not Sawney Too His Lord and Whore?" is an engraving created in 1742 by the French artist Hubert-François Gravelot, also known as Hubert-François Bourguignon. Gravelot was an influential figure in the Rococo movement and is renowned for his book illustrations and decorative engravings that often carried moral or satirical messages. This particular work is notable for its commentary on social and political themes of the time, specifically targeting the Scottish union with England and the perceived moral decay associated with it.

The engraving is part of a series that Gravelot produced, which includes other works with similar satirical overtones. "And Has Not Sawney Too His Lord and Whore?" features a scene where Sawney, a derogatory term for a Scotsman, is depicted in a compromising position with figures representing his 'lord' and 'whore,' symbolizing the corruption and loss of moral integrity. The artwork reflects the tensions and prejudices that were prevalent in the 18th century, particularly the English view of the Scots following the Act of Union in 1707.

Gravelot's work is characterized by its fine lines and attention to detail, which is evident in this engraving. His ability to blend humor with critical social commentary made his pieces popular and influential during his time. The engraving not only serves as an artistic piece but also as a historical document that provides insight into the cultural and political landscape of 18th-century Britain.

The piece is held in various art collections and has been the subject of academic study in the context of British satire, the history of engraving, and the cultural exchange between France and Britain in the 18th century. As with many works of art from this period, "And Has Not Sawney Too His Lord and Whore?" offers a window into the era's societal norms, political climate, and artistic trends.
