EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Speciality, 1882 (1891)", artist George du Maurier takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The scene depicts a rainy day, with people scurrying along the avenue seeking shelter from the downpour. Amidst the crowd stands a distinguished gentleman, his top hat and long beard adding an air of sophistication to his appearance. The man is well-prepared for the inclement weather, donning a stylish raincoat and holding up an umbrella as he confidently walks down the lane. His attire not only protects him from getting wet but also showcases his impeccable taste in fashion. Du Maurier's satirical touch becomes evident as we notice that while most individuals are rushing to find cover, this particular gentleman seems unfazed by the rain. With his monocle firmly in place and a hint of amusement on his face, he appears to be relishing in this peculiar situation. Through this whimsical cartoon-like illustration, du Maurier invites us to reflect on society's obsession with appearances and status symbols even amidst unfavorable circumstances. The monochrome engraving adds depth and character to each figure present on the pavement. As we gaze at this intriguing snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but wonder about the stories behind each passerby - their hopes, dreams, or perhaps even their own unique ways of navigating life's challenges.
