EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Main Chance" transports us back to the Victorian era, specifically 1878. Created by the talented artist George du Maurier, this piece is part of a collection called Society Pictures, drawn for Punch magazine in London. In this scene of domestic life, we find ourselves inside a cozy British home. A father sits comfortably on an ornate chair while his young daughter leans against him affectionately. The room is adorned with elegant furniture and delicate decor that exude sophistication. As the man reads from a book, his wife stands nearby in her exquisite dress, adding grace to the atmosphere. This image beautifully captures the essence of family bonds and relaxation within a Victorian household. George du Maurier's skillful use of monochrome engraving adds depth to this satirical cartoon-like illustration. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary on happy families during that time period. "The Main Chance" takes us on a nostalgic journey through 19th-century Britain, reminding us of simpler times when familial connections were cherished above all else. This print allows us to appreciate not only du Maurier's artistic talent but also provides insight into societal norms and values from over a century ago.
