EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "English gentlemen shaking hands in a dining room, 18th century" takes us back to the refined elegance of the late 1700s. Created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki and engraved by William Blake, this print showcases a significant moment between two distinguished figures. In a candlelit dining room adorned with exquisite furnishings, we witness the meeting of Mr. Noel and his former tutor, Mr. Goodman. The scene exudes an air of nobility and sophistication as these English gentlemen engage in a heartfelt handshake. The context behind their encounter becomes apparent through Mary Wollstonecraft's translation of Christian Gotthilf Salzmann's Elements of Morality. It is revealed that Mr. Noel regards Mr. Goodman as his benefactor and preserver – someone who has had a profound impact on his life. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that it not only captures an intimate moment but also reflects societal norms and values prevalent during the 18th century in England. The image offers glimpses into both German and British cultures, showcasing how they intertwine within this historical period. With its black-and-white aesthetic adding depth to every detail, this engraving invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in its creation while providing insight into European history at large.
