EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Moment of Leisure: Samuel Hoare and Family Engaged in a Game of Chess at Home, 1757-1825" This evocative image captures a moment of tranquility and familial bonding within the esteemed Hoare household. The photo print, dated between 1757 and 1825, depicts Samuel Hoare, a prominent banker of the time, in a relaxed setting with his wife and daughter. Samuel Hoare, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, sits in a comfortable chair, engrossed in a book. His wife, her back turned to us, delicately arranges a chessboard on a nearby table. Their daughter, Sarah, with an animated expression, proposes a game of chess to her father, holding out her hand to make her move. The Times, a popular newspaper of the period, lies discarded on the floor, a testament to the family's momentary respite from the bustling world outside their home. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the room is further emphasized by the soft lighting and the intricate details of the furnishings. Samuel Hoare, a successful banker, was known for his business acumen and philanthropic endeavors. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into his personal life, revealing a loving and engaged father and husband. The simple pleasure of a family game of chess serves as a reminder of the importance of balance in life, even amidst professional success. This image, preserved in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique window into the history of the Hoare family and the social fabric of the time. It invites us to reflect on the enduring nature of familial bonds and the simple joys of life, even in the face of great wealth and success.
