EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "Victorian man with nightcap and candle" we are transported back in time to witness a delightful scene from the past. The image captures a gentleman on his way to bed after indulging in a bountiful harvest supper. With a contented smile on his face, he wears a comfortable nightshirt and an endearing nightcap that adds to the quaintness of the moment. Carrying a lighted candle, our Victorian protagonist illuminates his path through the dimly lit room, casting soft shadows on the walls. The warm glow of the flame reflects off his face, revealing traces of satisfaction and tranquility after enjoying an evening filled with good food and merry company. This particular artwork is part of "The Horkey - A Ballad" by Robert Bloomfield, beautifully illustrated by George Cruikshank. Published in London in 1882 by MacMillan & Co. , it offers us a glimpse into rural life during harvest season in Suffolk, England. As we admire this print captured by whitemay from Fine Art Storehouse, we can't help but feel nostalgic for simpler times when celebrations were marked by communal feasts and shared joy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's hustle and bustle, there is still value in cherishing traditions that bring people together to celebrate life's abundance.
