EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking handcoloured engraving from 1817, we see Egoism personified in the form of a gentleman who occupies six chairs all to himself. With complete disregard for others, he stretches out his army boot with spur and waves his whip, symbolizing his selfish and self-centered nature. The arrival of strollers does not faze him as he asserts his dominance over the space around him.
This image serves as a powerful commentary on human behavior and societal norms. The man's exaggerated display of egoism highlights the negative impact that selfishness can have on relationships and interactions with others. His actions are a stark reminder of the importance of empathy, consideration, and respect for those around us.
Through intricate details and expressive gestures, this engraving captures the essence of egoism in its most extreme form. It prompts viewers to reflect on their own behaviors and attitudes towards others, encouraging them to strive for greater understanding and compassion in their interactions with fellow human beings.
Overall, this artwork serves as a thought-provoking depiction of egoism personified, challenging viewers to consider the consequences of prioritizing one's own needs above those of others.
