EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures the essence of John Rogers Herbert's masterpiece, "False as Fair". Created in 1880 for The Gallery of Engravings, this enchanting artwork delves into the intricate web of duplicity that often shrouds society. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a grand staircase adorned with elegant curtains and exquisite fashions.

The artist skillfully portrays the contrasting nature of human behavior through his meticulous attention to detail. While some individuals exude genuine warmth and sincerity, others wear masks concealing their true intentions.

Do we don masks ourselves or see beyond them? Through its timeless beauty and thought-provoking composition, "False as Fair" challenges us to navigate the complexities of human relationships with discernment and empathy.
