EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pharo table (engraving) captures a vibrant scene of entertainment and indulgence in 18th century London. In this print, we are transported to an opulent room where the daughters of Lady Elizabeth Luttrell, the Countess of Buckinghamshire, revel in the pleasures of gambling. The focal point is undoubtedly the Pharo table itself, adorned with exquisite details and surrounded by eager gamblers. The atmosphere is electric as players eagerly place their bets, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. The intricately engraved cards and chips on the table reflect the skillful craftsmanship of English School artists. Lady Elizabeth Luttrell's daughters can be seen at either end of the table, fully immersed in this thrilling game. Their elegant attire highlights their status as members of high society while also emphasizing their participation in these traditionally male-dominated entertainments. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into aristocratic pastimes but also serves as a testament to societal shifts during that era. It showcases how women like Lady Elizabeth Luttrell's daughters were breaking social norms by engaging in activities typically reserved for men. Through this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of both the allure and controversy surrounding gambling during this period. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as wealth, privilege, gender roles, and societal expectations - all encapsulated within one captivating image.
