EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print, we are transported back to the elegance and opulence of 19th century England. A Victorian lady sits at a beautifully set breakfast table, her delicate features framed by cascading curls and adorned with a fashionable bonnet. She exudes grace and refinement as she awaits her morning meal. Standing beside her is a footman, impeccably dressed in livery befitting his role as servant. With utmost care and precision, he serves the lady her breakfast, ensuring every detail is attended to. The scene captures the stark contrast between social classes during this era; while the lady enjoys a life of luxury and leisure, it is only made possible through the laborious efforts of those serving beneath her. The monochrome sketch adds an air of nostalgia to this engraved image, evoking memories of times gone by. It invites us to reflect on Washington Irving's recollections of English Christmas traditions from his renowned book "Old Christmas". Through Randolph Caldecott's exquisite illustrations published in 1882 by Macmillan & Co. , London, we are given a glimpse into an era defined by its grandeur and customs. This artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty that surrounded Victorian women like this lady at breakfast and the intricate societal dynamics that shaped their lives.
