8661096 Guests at a Feast being crowned (litho) by Dudley, Robert Ambrose (1867-1951); Private Collection; (add.info.: Guests at a Feast being crowned. Guests, on arriving for dinner, which was held in the middle of the day, were given water in which to wash their feet and hands, and were anointed with sweet scented oil. For some time they remained conversing, as it was considered impolite to proceed immediately to dinner. Flowers were brought to them and servants put garlands on their heads, bringing fresh flowers when the first became faded. On the guests being seated the servants handed round wine and the musicians entertained the company with the favourite airs of the day.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures a scene of opulence and extravagance as guests at a feast are crowned with garlands of fresh flowers. The artist, Robert Ambrose Dudley, brings to life the customs and rituals of ancient banquets in exquisite detail.
In this depiction, we see guests arriving for dinner in the middle of the day, where they are greeted with water to wash their feet and hands, anointed with sweet scented oil, and adorned with floral garlands. It was considered impolite to proceed immediately to dinner, so the guests engage in conversation while being entertained by musicians playing popular tunes of the day.
As they take their seats at the banquet table, servants circulate offering wine to quench their thirst. The atmosphere is one of elegance and sophistication as everyone enjoys the lavish spread before them.
This image from Hutchinson's History of Nations transports us back in time to a world where elaborate feasts were not just about food but also about socializing and entertainment. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural traditions that have shaped our understanding of hospitality and celebration throughout history.
