Going out to Dinner a Hundred Years Ago - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, created by Samuel Edmund Waller in 1878, transports us back in time to a century ago. The image offers an enchanting snapshot of society's dining customs and fashion trends during this era. In this scene, we witness a group of elegantly dressed individuals making their way to dinner. The men don dapper suits with top hats while the women showcase extravagant gowns adorned with intricate lace and feathers. Their attire reflects the opulence and refinement that characterized high society at the time. As we delve deeper into the picture, our attention is drawn towards the mode of transportation employed - horse-drawn carriages. These majestic creatures pull ornate carriages through bustling streets, symbolizing both luxury and practicality as they were essential for traversing long distances. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only human fashion but also highlights various animals present in this setting. Horses stand tall and proud as they serve as reliable companions on these journeys, embodying strength and grace. This remarkable piece serves as a window into history; it captures an era when lavish dinners were social events filled with elegance and grandeur. It invites us to reflect on how societal norms have evolved over time while reminding us of the timeless beauty found within art itself.
