EDITORS COMMENTS
by A. K. Macdonald: A Late 18th Century Tale of Surprise and Haste In this 18th century scene, an elegant lady, dressed in a delicate negligee and semi-reclined on a chaise longue, is engrossed in her reflection in the mirror. Her tranquil moment is disrupted by the arrival of a youthful-looking gentleman, who stands at the door, holding a tray of post and a bouquet of flowers. The lady's expression changes from serenity to surprise as she realizes the unexpected intrusion. The room, adorned with exotic parrots and parakeets, is a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the era. The lady's dressing table is cluttered with various cosmetics and perfumes, while a chambermaid, dressed in a modest uniform, stands by the door, ready to assist. The lady's pet monkey, perched on the settee, seems to sense the commotion and watches the scene unfold with curiosity. The lady's maid, who is half-dressed, rushes in from the background, warning her mistress of the imminent arrival of a suitor. The lady's initial shock turns to a flutter of activity as she quickly gathers her night clothes and covers herself, preparing for the gentleman's entrance. The scene captures the essence of the 18th century, where the unexpected arrival of a suitor could disrupt even the most private of moments. This enchanting print, "A Flutter in the Boudoir," is a reminder of the elegance, surprise, and haste that defined the social interactions of the late 18th century. It is a captivating glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple act of receiving a letter could lead to a flurry of activity and unexpected encounters.
