EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting steel engraving, titled "Sarah Elizabeth, Susannah and Sophia Copley," captures the playful innocence of three young sisters: Sarah Elizabeth, Susannah, and Sophia. Daughters of the 1st Baron Lyndhurst, John Copley, the sisters are depicted in off-shoulder dresses adorned with ribbons and lace, with Sarah Elizabeth's ringlets being the center of attention as her younger sisters playfully tug at them. Susannah, the eldest sister on the left, tragically passed away at the young age of 15, making this portrait an even more precious keepsake. In the background, a parrot perches on a stand, adding a touch of exoticism to the scene. The sisters' fashionable attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with Sarah Elizabeth wearing a lilac tunic and velvet hat, Susannah in a bloomer-style dress, and Sophia in a trimmed, frilly dress. The intricate details of their outfits, from the lace veils and fichus to the fans and gloves, are beautifully rendered in this hand-colored lithograph. The illustration was created by Daniel Maclise and engraved by Henry Cook for Charles Heath's "Portraits of the Children of the Nobility," published in Longmont, London, in 1838. This exquisite work of art transports us back to the Napoleonic era, a time of revolution and change, when the French modes of Parisienne fashion were all the rage, from the Directoire to the Comte de Moreau. This image is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past.
