A Cold Welcome
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that transports us back to the winter of 1897. In this beautifully detailed illustration by Lucien Davis, we witness a scene filled with contrasting emotions and fashion statements. The women depicted in their elegant winter clothing are met with an unexpected cold reception as snowballs come hurtling towards them. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate the intricate designs of their attire, showcasing the fashions of the time. From stylish coats adorned with fur trimmings to delicate bonnets protecting against the biting wind, each ensemble exudes sophistication and grace. Yet, despite their fashionable appearance, these women find themselves caught off guard by mischievous individuals armed with snowballs. Their startled expressions capture a moment frozen in time - surprise mingled with laughter and perhaps even a touch of annoyance. This engraving from "A Cold Welcome" not only offers insight into historical fashion trends but also reminds us of the universal experience of unexpected surprises during wintertime. It serves as a delightful reminder that even amidst chilly encounters, there is always room for joy and shared laughter. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this print continues to captivate viewers through its timeless depiction of human emotion set against a backdrop of wintry enchantment.
