EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Burgess enjoying his meal, transporting us back to the 16th century. Inspired by an illustration found in a rare manuscript, this image is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of that era. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph, originally published in 1847 by Paul Lacroix, showcases the talent and skill of the French School during the 19th century. The scene depicts an interior setting where a middle-class citizen indulges in his meal. Seated at a table adorned with fine linens and exquisite silverware, he savors each bite with evident satisfaction. A male servant stands nearby attentively serving him, adding an element of social hierarchy to the composition. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into daily life during this period – one filled with refinement and elegance even for those outside nobility. It serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in capturing moments from different epochs and preserving them for future generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Ken Welsh's collection, it invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. This photograph print allows us to connect with our past while celebrating the artistic achievements that have shaped our present-day understanding of culture and society.
