EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Excess a Fault, 1875 (1891)", takes us back to the streets of Victorian-era France. The scene depicts a fascinating encounter between two individuals in an exterior setting. A well-dressed gentleman wearing a top hat politely raises his hand in greeting towards a lady passing by. Both figures are impeccably dressed in their fashionable attire, showcasing the style of the time. The artist behind this intriguing piece is Swain, as part of the Society Pictures collection drawn by George du Maurier and selected from Punch magazine. This satirical engraving captures not only the fashion trends but also hints at social customs and manners prevalent during that era. The attention to detail is evident as we observe passersby on this bustling street, with men and women going about their daily lives. The composition beautifully portrays a moment frozen in time - an exchange between two individuals amidst the busy cityscape. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into 19th-century Britain's fascination with French culture while simultaneously reflecting on concepts such as politeness and excessive behavior. It serves as both an artistic representation of its time and a commentary on societal norms. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, it transports us to another era where fashion met etiquette on the charming lanes of France – forever captured within this remarkable print.
