EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ceremony, 1872 (1891)", artist George du Maurier takes us back to the Victorian era, capturing a scene of leisure and social interaction by the seaside. The image showcases a group of holidaymakers gathered on a boat, enjoying their time off from the bustling city life. Women dressed in elegant bathing costumes can be seen mingling with one another while others take a refreshing dip in the sea. The focal point of the print is an amusing encounter between two ladies engaged in an introduction or perhaps even an annoyed exchange. Their handshake seems more like a forced formality rather than genuine warmth, adding a touch of satire to this otherwise idyllic setting. Du Maurier's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the fashion trends and customs of his time. The intricate engravings showcase not only his artistic talent but also provide valuable insights into 19th-century society. This print from Society Pictures, selected from Punch magazine, serves as both entertainment and historical documentation. It transports us back in time to experience the charm and elegance of Victorian holidays by the sea. Whether you are fascinated by art history or simply appreciate beautiful imagery, this piece offers a delightful glimpse into an era long gone but forever cherished.
