EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Business-like Offer, 1886 (1891)" by George du Maurier takes us back to the elegant Victorian era. The scene depicts a group of well-dressed individuals engaged in conversation while on horseback. A lady, dressed in a fashionable riding dress and seated side saddle, appears to be at the center of attention. Surrounded by men clad in dapper attire, she listens intently as one gentleman leans towards her, seemingly making a business proposition. The atmosphere exudes an air of sophistication and intrigue as these characters exchange words amidst their leisurely ride. The artist's satirical touch is evident in this cartoon-like portrayal, adding an element of humor to the composition. With meticulous detail and skillful engraving techniques, George du Maurier captures the essence of British society during the late 19th century. This remarkable print from Society Pictures showcases not only the fashion trends of that era but also provides insight into social dynamics and gender roles prevalent at the time. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to imagine ourselves transported to Victorian Britain where conversations were held on horseback and societal norms dictated every aspect of life. As we admire this artwork today, we can appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting upon how much has changed since those days gone by.
