EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "A short set to at Longs Hotel, or Stopford not getting the best of it" by Carl Georg Adolph Hasenpflug, takes us back to a historic moment in time. The scene is set in a bedroom at Longs Hotel on 1 March 1825. A mirror reflects the intense battle between two individuals: Stopford and an unidentified opponent. The composition captures the raw energy and tension of their confrontation. With clenched fists and determined expressions, they engage in a fierce fight that seems evenly matched. However, as suggested by the title, it appears that Stopford may not be coming out on top. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every fold of fabric and strand of hair has been meticulously rendered by Hasenpflug's skilled hand. The vibrant colours bring life to the scene, enhancing our immersion into this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to a time when physical confrontations settled disputes. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then – where conflicts are now resolved through dialogue rather than brute force. This artwork offers us an intriguing glimpse into history while also showcasing Hasenpflug's artistic talent and ability to capture human emotion within his engravings.
