EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Comforting, 1882 (1891)" by George du Maurier captures a delightful scene from the Victorian era. In this charming illustration, we find ourselves in the midst of a leisurely afternoon on a British tennis court. The artist's keen eye for detail brings to life an array of characters dressed in fashionable attire of the time. In the foreground, a group of women clad in elegant dresses stands together, engrossed in conversation while watching an intense game unfold before them. Their presence adds an air of sophistication and refinement to the scene. On the other side of the court, men donning dapper suits observe with great interest as two players engage in a spirited match. Du Maurier's satirical style is evident through his clever use of caricature and wit. Through this lighthearted cartoon-like depiction, he playfully highlights societal norms and customs prevalent during that period. This monochrome engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us glimpses into 19th-century Britain's fashion trends and recreational activities. It reminds us how even amidst their busy lives, people found solace and enjoyment in sports like tennis. Preserved through time by The Print Collector29 collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal and historical significance.
