EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1823, we are transported back to Georgian England, where two elegant ladies find themselves in a garret seeking the wisdom of an old woman fortune teller. As Kate and Sue eagerly listen to their fortunes being told, little do they know that Tom and Jerry are lurking nearby, catching them on the sly.
The scene is rich with detail - from the intricate patterns on the curtains to the flickering fire in the fireplace. The black cat perched ominously nearby adds an air of mystery to the setting. The contrast between the opulence of the ladies' attire and the humble surroundings of the garret speaks volumes about social class distinctions during this time period.
Isaac Robert Cruikshank and George Cruikshank's masterful engraving captures not only a moment of curiosity and intrigue but also provides a glimpse into everyday life in London at that time. The humor and wit present in this scene remind us that no matter our station in life, we all seek answers about our future.
This print serves as a delightful reminder of both past customs and timeless human nature, making it a captivating piece for any art lover or history enthusiast.
