EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Consolation, 1880 (1891)" showcases the artistic brilliance of George du Maurier. Taken from his collection called Society Pictures, drawn for Punch magazine in London during the late 19th century, this piece encapsulates the essence of Victorian Britain. In this scene, we find ourselves inside a beautifully decorated living room where a group of individuals is engaged in various activities. A weary-looking man dressed in fashionable attire sits comfortably on an armchair, finding solace and relaxation after a long day. Meanwhile, a lady elegantly seated nearby seems to be deep in thought or perhaps enjoying her own moment of respite. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the intricate patterns on their clothing and the overall ambiance of the room. The monochrome palette adds depth and enhances the satirical undertones present throughout du Maurier's work. Through this print, du Maurier invites us into a world where time seems to stand still—a snapshot frozen in history that allows us to reflect upon societal norms and customs of that era. It serves as both entertainment and commentary on British society at that time—offering viewers not only visual delight but also an opportunity for introspection. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded once again of du Maurier's talent as an engraver and his ability to capture human emotions with such finesse.
