EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical print titled "Symptoms of Being Amused" created by the talented artist Henry Thomas Alken in 1822, we are transported back to the enchanting world of the 19th century. The scene is filled with a delightful mix of comedy, entertainment, and fashion. At the center of attention is a caricatured cavalry officer, his exaggerated features adding an element of humor to the composition. He sits atop a magnificent horse, both adorned in colorful attire that reflects the fashion trends of that era. Surrounding them are men and women dressed in their finest garments, eagerly participating in what seems to be a lively storytelling session or perhaps even a theatrical performance. The print captures not only moments of amusement but also showcases Alken's incredible talent for capturing movement and expression. Each character exudes enjoyment and merriment as they engage with one another amidst laughter-filled conversations. Notably present among these characters is Queen Victoria herself, who was known for her love for horses and equestrian pursuits. Her inclusion adds an air of regality to this otherwise light-hearted scene. Alken's mastery lies not only in his ability to depict human emotions but also in his skillful rendering of animals. The horses depicted here possess grace and strength while maintaining their own sense of individuality. This artwork serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought out amusement as an essential part of life - whether through art, theater or simply sharing stories with friends.
