Boasting Bodily Expressed Expressions Facial Oratory Reference Elocution
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boasting (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into Victorian-era expressions and body language. The engraving, created by an anonymous American School artist, is part of a private collection and was featured in the renowned publication "The Universal Self-Instructor and Manual of General Reference" around 1885. In this thought-provoking image, we witness the power of facial and bodily expressions as they convey the act of boasting. As our eyes delve into every intricate detail, we are transported to a time when elocution and oratory skills were highly valued. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of boasting but also in its representation of general knowledge during that era. It serves as a window into how people communicated their thoughts and emotions through non-verbal cues. As we appreciate this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect on how human expression has evolved over centuries while recognizing the timeless nature of certain behaviors. This print invites us to ponder upon our own gestures and postures when expressing confidence or pride.
