On Pleasure Bent
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a lively bank holiday roadside scene in the late 19th century, as depicted by William Hatherell. This enchanting engraving, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the leisurely pursuits and social dynamics of that era. The image showcases a bustling road filled with an eclectic mix of pedestrians, cyclists, horse-drawn carts, and even a bus. Amidst the vibrant crowd are families enjoying their day off, children frolicking around on bicycles while dogs happily accompany their owners. A penny farthing cyclist gracefully glides past as horses trot alongside carriages carrying excited passengers. The atmosphere is one of joyous revelry and merriment. This snapshot from history not only provides insight into Victorian entertainment but also highlights the evolving modes of transport during this time period. It reflects both the growing popularity of cycling as a sport and public transportation's emergence as an essential means for travel. The intricate details within this illustration showcase Hatherell's skillful handiwork and attention to capturing everyday life in England at that time. "On Pleasure Bent" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation—a testament to how people sought pleasure during bank holidays in 19th-century Britain. Bridgeman Images has preserved this print from Fine Art Finder's extensive collection—an invaluable window into our cultural heritage that continues to fascinate viewers today.
