EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Hostess: Well, shall we join the gentlemen?" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an intriguing social gathering. The image portrays a hostess in conversation with her female companion, both elegantly dressed and seated at a lavishly adorned table. With a playful smile on her face, the hostess suggests joining the gentlemen present in another room. This artwork encapsulates not only the fashion and style of that era but also hints at themes of liberation and societal change. The women's attire reflects the evolving fashion trends of the time, showcasing their individuality and confidence. As they sit amidst opulent furnishings and upholstered chairs, it is evident that this setting represents an affluent household. The presence of cigarettes on the table adds an element of sophistication while alluding to changing attitudes towards smoking among women during this period. This subtle inclusion challenges traditional gender roles by portraying these ladies as independent individuals who are comfortable engaging in activities typically associated with men. Furthermore, there is a statue positioned nearby which symbolizes artistic appreciation and cultural refinement within this refined environment. Overall, this print captures a moment where tradition meets progress; where women begin to assert themselves beyond conventional boundaries. It serves as a testament to how art can reflect societal shifts while providing us with insight into historical moments that shaped our perception of femininity and empowerment.
