EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming scene captured in the print titled "Hindering Choice," three elegant women in frilled dresses are seen flirting with a waiter at a quaint cafe. The women, known for their delicate nerves, have forgone wine and instead indulge in kirsch, maraschino (cherry liqueur), scubac (a unique blend of whisky with saffron), and other exotic liqueurs from the islands. The hand-colored engraving by Gatine from Pierre de la Mesanger's Le Bon Genre transports us back to Paris in 1817, where social norms dictated what was acceptable for women to consume. Despite these hindrances, the ladies enjoy their drinks with sophistication and grace. As they engage in light-hearted banter with the attentive waiter, one can almost hear their laughter and see the twinkle in their eyes. The atmosphere is filled with charm and elegance, making it easy to imagine oneself sitting at a nearby table observing this delightful scene unfold. This print serves as a reminder of a bygone era when societal expectations influenced even the simplest choices. Yet, amidst these constraints, there is still room for enjoyment and camaraderie among friends. It captures a moment frozen in time that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
