EDITORS COMMENTS
Going down to supper. My first ball (litho) captures the essence of a bygone era, where worry and pleasures intertwined in the bustling world of London society during the renowned London season. The lithograph, created by Arthur Hopkins in 1890, portrays a scene filled with elegance and innocence. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported to a grand staircase adorned with opulent decorations. A young debutante, her face reflecting both fear and excitement, descends towards the lavish ballroom below. Surrounded by fellow party-goers dressed in their finest attire, she navigates through a sea of swirling gowns and dapper gentlemen. The artist skillfully conveys not only the anticipation but also the anguish that accompanies such social events. The viewer can almost feel the anxiety and angst radiating from our protagonist as she enters into this new realm of entertainments. In this moment frozen in time, we witness more than just an ordinary game or parlour activity; it is a significant milestone for our young player. With each step down that staircase towards supper, she embarks on a journey filled with unknowns yet brimming with possibilities. Hopkins' exquisite engraving captures both the beauty and complexity of societal expectations during this period. It serves as a poignant reminder of how innocence can be simultaneously surrounded by elegance and overshadowed by apprehension.
