EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 19th century, specifically to Mme Verys Restaurant in the Palais Royal. The image is a visual representation of an anecdote mentioned by Gronow, shedding light on the eating habits of British officers during that time period. The scene depicted showcases a group of British officers indulging in their meals at this renowned French establishment. However, it seems that their dining etiquette leaves much to be desired. The print captures their seemingly disgusting eating habits, perhaps reflecting the cultural differences between the two nations. Furthermore, this illustration also hints at another aspect highlighted by Gronow - the officers' struggle with speaking French fluently. Their "bad French" becomes evident through their interactions with Mme Verys and her staff. Dating back to 1814 during the Battle of Waterloo era, this monochrome print provides us with a fascinating glimpse into history. It serves as a reminder of how even mundane aspects like dining can reveal insights into different cultures and historical events. This remarkable piece was captured by ©TopFoto and is available for viewing courtesy of TopFoto. co. uk. Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time.
