EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming handcoloured copperplate engraving, after an illustration by Thomas Rowlandson, captures a moment of leisure and relaxation in the English Regency era. The English gentleman, dressed in fashionable attire, sits comfortably on a plush sofa, his wife and young children gathered around him. The mother playfully engages with her children, while the family's loyal dog rests at their feet. The scene exudes an air of grandeur and return from a successful grand tour, as evidenced by the elegant decor of the parlour and the presence of a well-dressed manservant, who brings a tray of beverages. The illustration, taken from William Combe's "The Dance of Life" published by Rudolph Ackermann in London in 1817, is a delightful caricature of the Regency era's emphasis on family, leisure, and the role of servants in maintaining the comfort and elegance of the home.
