EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and lively scene captured in this print titled "A Two O Clock Ordinary, June 4,1811" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to a bustling lunchtime gathering in early 19th century Britain. The hand-colored etching showcases the artist's attention to detail as he portrays a group of men indulging in a sumptuous feast. Seated around an ornate table adorned with delectable dishes, these gentlemen are engrossed in their mealtime rituals. Their animated conversations fill the air as they savor every bite of food laid before them. The room is filled with laughter and camaraderie, creating an atmosphere of conviviality that transcends time. Rowlandson's mastery lies not only in capturing the essence of this dining experience but also in his ability to depict the intricate details of the furniture and surroundings. From the elegant chairs to the exquisite tableware, every element adds to the richness and authenticity of this historical moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this artwork from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported back two centuries ago when lunch was not just about nourishment but also about socializing and enjoying each other's company. It serves as a reminder that despite our modern advancements, some things remain timeless - like good food shared among friends amidst laughter and merriment.
