EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cartoon on English bourgeois women of the 19th century: 'English ladies after dine'" offers a glimpse into the social dynamics and cultural norms of the era. The image depicts a group of affluent English women enjoying their post-dinner tea, with an intriguing twist. A black servant is seen graciously presenting them with the tea on a tray, adding an element of contrast and complexity to the scene. The unknown artist behind this piece skillfully captures both humor and social commentary through his caricature-like style. The exaggerated features and expressions of the women highlight their privileged status within society, while also poking fun at their pretentiousness. Meanwhile, the presence of the black servant serves as a reminder of racial inequality prevalent during that time. This print transports us back to an era where class divisions were starkly apparent, yet often hidden beneath layers of etiquette and refinement. It invites us to reflect upon societal constructs such as gender roles, race relations, and power dynamics that shaped life in 19th-century England. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully preserves this historical artwork for future generations to appreciate its artistic merit and explore its deeper meanings.
