EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in the world of fine arts. Titled "Record Prices for Pictures and Cabinets" this lithograph print showcases an illustration that originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on 6 July 1901. The image transports us back to a time when art auctions were highly anticipated social affairs, attended by the elite members of society. In the foreground, we see Lady Manners, accompanied by her elegant companion, admiring a magnificent Louis XV commode. This exquisite piece of furniture is said to have been sold at an astonishing price. The scene also features notable figures from the art world such as Mr. Duveen and Mr. P. D Colnaghi, who are engaged in conversation with other attendees. The Duchess of St Albans and Countess of Dysart can be seen discussing their recent acquisitions while examining precious paintings mounted on the walls. Every detail in this engraving exudes opulence and grandeur - from the luxurious surroundings to the intricate designs adorning each cabinet and frame. It serves as a testament to both the artistic mastery captured within these pictures and cabinets, as well as their immense value. This print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where record-breaking prices were paid for exceptional works of art. It reminds us that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to captivate our imagination and hold immense cultural significance.
