EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tea in high society in France, c. 1840" transports us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. The colour litho, created by the talented artist Achille Deveria, beautifully captures a scene of tea drinking among the French bourgeoisie. In this image, we see a group of well-dressed men and women gathered together for an afternoon tea party. The atmosphere is one of sophistication and leisure as they engage in lively conversation while sipping on their steaming cups of tea. The delicate porcelain teacups and saucers add an air of luxury to the setting, reflecting the refined tastes of high society during this time period. Tea-drinking was not merely about quenching one's thirst; it was also a social ritual that brought people together to connect and enjoy each other's company. This particular gathering showcases the importance placed on socializing within French high society during the mid-19th century. The image serves as a window into a world where tea served as both a beverage and symbol of status among the elite class. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found solace in coming together over shared experiences such as enjoying a cup of tea. Through this exquisite photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how tea played an integral role in shaping social interactions within French high society during the 1840s.
