EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into American daily life during the Victorian era. The image showcases an American advertisement for Sargents Oriental Couch, beautifully captured through a wood engraving technique in 1885. In this scene, we see two men engrossed in their own quiet moments of relaxation. One gentleman is seated comfortably on the ornate Oriental couch, while indulging in a cigarette and leisurely reading his newspaper. The other man stands nearby, also captivated by the words before him. The wood engraving brings out intricate details of both the furniture piece and its surroundings. The craftsmanship of Sargents Oriental Couch is evident with its elegant design and rich upholstery that exudes luxury and sophistication. This advertisement not only highlights the product but also provides insight into societal norms of that time period. It reflects how smoking was considered a common activity among men as they sought solace from their busy lives. Through this artful depiction, we are transported to an era where taking time for oneself was valued amidst bustling city life. This vintage print serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time while preserving glimpses into history's quieter moments.
