EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for Vanity Fair by the renowned author William Makepeace Thackeray. Created as a lithograph by Harold Hume Piffard, this artwork is a true gem from the early 20th century. The image depicts a scene where Miss Becky, one of the novel's intriguing characters, is reminded that candles are not allowed after eleven o'clock. The delicate lines and intricate details of this litho bring Thackeray's fictional world to life, capturing the essence of his literary masterpiece. Although printed with slight imperfections, this rare find from a private collection still exudes its timeless charm. Look closely at how each stroke tells a story - from the flickering candlelight to Miss Becky's expression filled with mischief and defiance. This illustration transports us back in time to an era when societal rules governed even the smallest aspects of daily life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but imagine ourselves immersed in Vanity Fair's complex web of ambition, love, and deceit. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transcend time and space while offering glimpses into human nature that remain relevant today. Bridgeman Images presents yet another treasure through Fine Art Finder; it invites us to appreciate both Thackeray's genius and Piffard's artistic talent captured within this stunning lithograph.
