EDITORS COMMENTS
Induction, 1878 (1891) captures the essence of leisure and relaxation in Victorian Britain. In this print by George du Maurier, we are transported to an elegant interior where a group of women indulge in their favorite pastime - reading. The scene exudes sophistication and refinement as these ladies recline on a chaise longue, draped in exquisite British fashion of the era. The monochrome cartoon-like style adds a touch of whimsy to the image, while also emphasizing the intricate details of their costumes. Each woman is engrossed in her own literary world, lost amidst the pages of literature that transport them to another time and place. This print not only showcases du Maurier's artistic talent but also serves as a satirical commentary on societal norms and expectations during that period. It subtly challenges traditional gender roles by depicting women engaging in intellectual pursuits rather than conforming to conventional domestic duties. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can't help but be captivated by the juxtaposition between opulent furniture and relaxed postures. It reminds us that even within rigid social structures, there was room for personal expression and moments of respite. Induction, 1878 (1891) is more than just an engraving; it encapsulates an entire century's worth of cultural values and aspirations through its portrayal of leisurely female empowerment.
