EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "I say, how nice you look" captures a charming scene of childhood innocence. The illustration is part of a collection called Child-Pictures from Dickens, published in 1885. In this image, we see a young boy and woman sitting at a meal table in an elegant interior setting. The boy appears to be slightly overweight or stout, adding an interesting dynamic to the composition. Despite his size, he exudes confidence as he compliments the woman on her appearance. The artist skillfully portrays the details of the room's furnishings with intricate lines and shading techniques. Upholstered goods and other pieces of furniture create an atmosphere of comfort and refinement. This engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's views on childhood, femininity, and body image during that era. It invites contemplation about societal norms surrounding weight and beauty ideals. Overall, this artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and a thought-provoking piece that encourages reflection on historical perspectives regarding body image standards among children.
