EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Tres Comme Il Faut" takes us back to the late nineteenth century in England, capturing a moment of grandeur and sophistication. The image showcases a scene along the River Thames during the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, an iconic event that still captivates audiences today. In this snapshot of history, we see a group of wealthy spectators gathered on the riverbank, eagerly watching the intense race unfold before them. Dressed impeccably in their late Victorian attire, they exude an air of refinement and elegance. Gustave Dore's masterful engraving beautifully captures not only their fashionable clothing but also their privileged lifestyle. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that this is more than just a sporting event; it is a display of wealth and social status. The onlookers epitomize British high society at its finest - tres comme il faut - adhering strictly to societal norms and etiquette. This photograph transports us to London during a time when Britain was at its zenith as an empire. It serves as a reminder of Great Britain's cultural influence across Europe and beyond. Through this lens into British culture, we catch glimpses of European unity within the context of 19th-century aristocracy.
