EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Maniways and modes: Turcaret taking a lesson in holding, late 18th" captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of aristocracy and society during the 18th century. In this artwork by Debucourt, Philibert Louis, we witness an elegant scene unfolding before our eyes. The image showcases Turcaret, an aristocrat eager to learn the art of proper etiquette and comportment. Surrounded by his peers from high society, he is engrossed in a lesson on how to hold himself with grace and poise. The setting exudes opulence as they gather in a lavish salon adorned with exquisite furniture and ornate decorations. This snapshot offers us insight into the education of the privileged class during that era. It highlights their desire to perfect every aspect of their lives, including their manners and social graces. The attention to detail in depicting each character's attire reflects not only their status but also the fashion trends prevalent at that time. Debucourt's masterful composition transports us back to a time when elegance was paramount among the bourgeoisie. Through this photograph print captured by Leonard de Selva, we are reminded of how societal norms were shaped within these elite circles. As we gaze upon this piece of art, it serves as a reminder that even centuries later, human nature remains fascinated by notions of refinement and sophistication found within different strata of society.
