EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette print, created by the skilled hand of Auguste Amant Constant Fidele Edouart on September 23, 1841, showcases the elegant and distinguished appearance of two brothers, Henry L. and Myron H. Church. The brothers, dressed in high-class attire typical of the time, are depicted in profile against a monochrome background. Henry wears a frock coat with a top hat adorned with a band, while Myron dons a similar outfit, complete with a top hat and a slightly shorter coat. Their clothing, reflecting their upper-class status, displays the latest fashion trends of the 1840s, with the frock coats featuring a single or double-breasted design and the hats boasting a tall, narrow shape. Auguste Edouart, a French artist, was renowned for his intricate cut-paper silhouettes, which gained immense popularity in America during the 19th century. This particular piece, held by the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the technique and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The brothers' strong resemblance and their shared sense of style further emphasize the bond between them, making this silhouette not only an intriguing work of art but also a valuable piece of social and family history.
