EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Aggravating Flippancy, 1870 (1891)" artist George du Maurier transports us back to the Victorian era. The scene unfolds in a lavishly furnished room, where a group of well-dressed individuals engage in lively conversation. A distinguished gentleman stands at the center, his top hat adding an air of sophistication to his attire. Seated nearby is a lady who gazes into a mirror on her dressing table, seemingly lost in thought. The composition exudes elegance and charm as du Maurier skillfully captures the fashion and style of the 19th century. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric and strand of hair meticulously rendered with delicate lines. Through this satirical cartoon, du Maurier offers a humorous critique on societal norms and behaviors prevalent during that time period. The title itself suggests an element of annoyance or irritation caused by flippant remarks or attitudes displayed by these characters. This print from Society Pictures, selected from Punch magazine, showcases du Maurier's talent for combining artistic skill with social commentary. It serves as both a historical document preserving Victorian fashion trends and as a reminder that human nature remains constant across centuries. As we gaze upon this intriguing image, we are transported to another era - one filled with wit, satire, and perhaps even some self-reflection about our own modern-day customs.
