1853 Child Collection Family Gatherer Mother Top Hat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "TAX-GATHERER, 1853" showcases a line engraving from England in the year 1853. The artwork is based on a painting by G. B. O'Neill and beautifully captures an intimate scene within a middle-class household. In this image, we see a group of individuals gathered inside their home, surrounded by elements that reflect the era's English culture. The central figure is the tax-gatherer himself, wearing a distinguished top hat as he engages with the family members present. A woman, presumably the mother, stands beside him while holding her young child close. The atmosphere exudes both tension and curiosity as everyone awaits their turn to address matters related to taxation. The girl in the foreground seems particularly intrigued by this encounter between her family and the tax-gatherer. This remarkable engraving provides us with insight into daily life during 19th-century England when taxes played an essential role in society. It serves as a reminder of how families had to navigate financial obligations imposed upon them by authorities. As part of The Granger Collection's extensive art collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate historical moments frozen in time through exceptional engravings like this one from 1853.
