EDITORS COMMENTS
Taking an Exit: A Humorous Departure into the Early 20th Century (circa 1901) This sketch, titled "Taking an Exit," is an enchanting glimpse into the past, showcasing the daily lives of a husband and wife as they prepare to leave a venue, carrying their cases in hand. The scene, taken from the renowned "March of the Women" Collection available on Mary Evans Prints Online, is attributed to the French caricaturists Les Maitres de la Caricature. The husband, dressed in a formal suit and hat, appears eager and engaged with the world around him. In contrast, his wife, adorned in an elegant gown and a disapproving expression, seems less than thrilled about their departure. Her body language and facial expression convey a sense of resignation or perhaps even annoyance. The couple's contrasting emotions add a layer of depth and intrigue to this charming sketch. It is a reminder that even in the early 20th century, relationships were complex and multifaceted. The use of subtle humor and masterful artistic technique further enhances the allure of this image. The date of this sketch is estimated to be circa 1901, making it an invaluable historical artifact that offers a unique perspective into the social norms and cultural nuances of the time. This print, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is a must-have for any collector of vintage art or those with an interest in the history of relationships and family dynamics.
