Footman Announcing the Arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Tootle-too, 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an amusing and whimsical illustration that captures the grandeur and humor of a late 19th-century social event. The footman, dressed in his formal livery, stands tall and imposing at the door, ready to announce the arrival of the esteemed guests. With a proud and exaggerated expression, he declares, "Mr. Tootle and Mrs. Tootle-too!" The contrast between the footman's grandiosity and the tiny, almost comically small, figures of Mr. and Mrs. Tootle adds to the hilarity of the scene. Mr. Tootle, a diminutive man with a top hat and cane, looks rather sheepish and henpecked as he follows behind his wife, Mrs. Tootle-too, who towers over him with her large, elaborate hat and an air of dominance. The footman's announcement is a common tradition at formal events, signaling the arrival of important guests and adding to the sense of occasion. The illustration captures the fun and frivolity of the social scene, as well as the role of the footman as a symbol of grandeur and formality. This charming and humorous image, created in 1895, offers a glimpse into the past and the social customs of the time. It is a reminder of the importance of tradition and the role of humor in bringing people together at social events. Whether you're a fan of history, art, or simply enjoy a good laugh, this illustration is sure to bring a smile to your face.
