Powder and Puff - drawn by James Godwin, 1862. Creator: Mason Jackson
Powder and Puff - drawn by James Godwin, 1862. Given, four-and twenty fiddlers all of a row - to say nothing of the "loud bassoon, " and the performers on the clarinet; given, a group of candelabra glittering with innumerable wax-lights; an elaborately chalked floor, and a dazzling company, all redolent of "powder and puff, " all...in embroidery spangles, well-curled wigs, toupees, flounces, ribbons, high-heeled shoes, silver-hilted swords, laced hats, embroidered waistcoats, quilted satin sacks, lace lappets, silk stockings and brocade - and we have...all the necessary elements for a Christmas ball in the olden time. Mr. James Godwin has made admirable use of the variegated wardrobe at his command...His beaux are the most exquisite of their species...as fastidious in the choice of their snuff as in that of their hair-powder. How deftly...do the couples pass beneath the triumphal arch specially erected for the passage of Sir Roger De Coverley's brilliant cortege. That Macaroni with glowing peruke looks as though he had studied manners under Lord Chesterfield, stateliness under Sir Charles Grandison, and the art of behaving at evening parties under the unrivalled and ugly Thidegger, "Directeur General des Plaisirs de la Grande Bretagne". From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of "Powder and Puff" drawn by James Godwin in 1862 transports us back to a lavish Christmas ball in the olden times. The scene is set with four-and twenty fiddlers, a loud bassoon, clarinet performers, glittering candelabra, and a dazzling company adorned in embroidery spangles, well-curled wigs, toupees, flounces, ribbons, high-heeled shoes, silver-hilted swords, and more. Mr. Godwin's attention to detail is impeccable as he captures the essence of this extravagant event.
The beaux depicted in the print are described as the most exquisite of their kind - fastidious not only in their choice of hair-powder but also in their snuff preferences. As they elegantly dance beneath a triumphal arch specially erected for Sir Roger De Coverley's procession, one cannot help but admire their grace and sophistication.
The Macaroni with his glowing peruke exudes an air of refinement learned from Lord Chesterfield and stately manners reminiscent of Sir Charles Grandison. This image truly encapsulates the opulence and grandeur of a bygone era where every detail was meticulously curated for an evening of revelry.
Mason Jackson has captured this moment beautifully through his interpretation of James Godwin's work. It serves as a reminder of the extravagance and elegance that once defined such gatherings - a true feast for the eyes for all who behold it.
