EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance and charm of a Victorian afternoon tea in a lavish drawing room. Set in the 19th century, this scene depicts ladies adorned in crinoline dresses eagerly awaiting the arrival of a footman dressed in livery, carrying a tray filled with delectable treats and steaming pots of tea. Intriguingly, amidst this refined setting, we witness Frenchman Jack Rogers presenting a glove on a silver-plate tray, searching for its rightful owner. The comical twist arises when an unexpected mishap occurs - aptly named "A lee-tle contr-temps" - as Jack Rogers finds himself entangled in guilt and trickery surrounding the missing glove. Handcoloured steel engraving by John Leech beautifully brings to life this illustration from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Ask Mamma, or the Richest Commoner in England". This artwork transports us back to an era characterized by opulence and caricatured humor. The image not only showcases elements specific to Victorian culture such as crinoline dresses and footmen but also highlights the fusion of European influences during that time. It serves as a reminder of France's significant presence within Europe during the 19th century. With its intricate details and whimsical narrative, this fine art print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of high society gatherings while savoring every sip of their own modern-day afternoon tea experience.
