EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "At Home and Abroad, February 28,1807" captures a scene from the early 19th century in Britain. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, this black and white etching depicts a lively gathering around a fireplace. The hand-colored details bring life to the characters in the image. In this bustling room, men and women are engaged in drinking and socializing. The atmosphere is filled with merriment as people enjoy their beverages of choice. Rowlandson's attention to detail allows us to observe the various expressions on each person's face - some laughing heartily while others engage in animated conversations. The warmth of the fire adds coziness to the setting, contrasting with the rowdy nature of the gathering. It serves as a focal point for both physical comfort and social interaction. As we look closer, we notice that one man holds his drink high while gesturing passionately with his other hand, perhaps emphasizing an anecdote or argument. This artwork offers us a glimpse into British society during this time period - where alcohol played a significant role in social gatherings. It reflects not only on individual behavior but also on cultural norms surrounding drinking habits. "At Home and Abroad" stands as an intriguing historical document preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met). Through Rowlandson's skillful portrayal of these men and women engaging in revelry, we can appreciate how different societies have evolved over time while recognizing certain timeless aspects of human connection through shared experiences like drinking
