EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a captivating glimpse into the daily life of an English family during the 17th century. Titled "A Family Meal, c. 1600" this woodcut engraving showcases a formal dining scene that exudes both simplicity and warmth. In this image, we see a puritan family gathered around a long wooden table, engrossed in their evening meal. The parents sit at the head of the table, radiating authority and grace as they oversee their children's manners. The mother delicately holds her spoon while engaging in conversation with her husband, who appears deep in thought. The children are well-behaved and attentive to their parents' instructions. Their innocent faces reflect both curiosity and obedience as they enjoy their nourishing meal together. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the values of puritanism prevalent during Elizabethan times - discipline, modesty, and familial unity. The attention to detail in this woodcut is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to each character portrayed within it. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical gem from The Stapleton Collection for our admiration today. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we can't help but feel connected to these individuals from centuries past - reminding us that despite changing times and customs, the essence of family remains timeless: love shared over meals enjoyed together.
