EDITORS COMMENTS
Arriving at the Ball, 19th century (1930) captures the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era. This photo print, created by Constantin Guys and accompanied by an introduction and translation of Baudelaire's 'Peintre de la Vie Moderne' by P G Konody, offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian life. In this image, we see a horse-drawn carriage making its way towards a lavish ball. The beautifully adorned female passengers exude grace and sophistication as they prepare to step onto the dance floor. The horses that pull the carriage add an element of power and majesty to the scene. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this artwork, transporting us back to a time when road transport was synonymous with luxury. It is through works like these that Constantin Guys established himself as a master in capturing moments from everyday life during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the intricate details found within Victorian society - from fashion choices to modes of transportation. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and historical document, allowing us to appreciate not only Guy's skill but also gain insight into societal norms during that period. 'Arriving at the Ball' invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this opulent affair while contemplating how traditions have evolved over time.
