EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical engraving titled "There was a young Lady of Lartington" the English School of the 19th century takes a humorous jab at Victorian society. The image, part of a private collection, captures an amusing scene that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The engraving depicts a young lady who seems to be caught in an awkward situation. With her chignon perfectly styled and her elegant attire, she appears as any proper Victorian lady would. However, it seems that someone has called her by the wrong name or perhaps even abused her verbally. The artist's intention here is clear - to poke fun at the strict social norms and expectations imposed on women during that era. By portraying this comical parting moment between the lady and whoever called her out wrongly, they highlight how easily people can make mistakes and how ridiculous it can be when such errors occur within high society. With its clever satire and witty portrayal of Victorian life, this print offers us a glimpse into the lighter side of history. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by formality and rigidity, there was room for humor and amusement. So take delight in this funny engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection! Let it transport you back to an era where laughter could still find its way through even the most prim-and-proper settings.
