EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Lee La Chamette (f. 1817); A view from the Royal Exchange, 1817" by Richard Dighton takes us back to a vibrant era of fashion and social life in early 19th century England. The print showcases Lee La Chamette, an enigmatic figure whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Royal Exchange building, this artwork offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of London during that time. People from all walks of life can be seen strolling along, their attire reflecting the prevailing trends and styles of the period. Dighton's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of clothing and accessories, capturing every intricate fold and embellishment with finesse. The artist's skillful use of caricature adds a touch of humor to the scene, as exaggerated features bring these characters to life. Published in 1824, this engraving provides valuable insight into both historical events and sartorial choices that shaped society at that time. It serves as a visual time capsule transporting viewers back two centuries ago. This particular print is part of Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection held privately but available for public appreciation due to its out-of-copyright status.
