EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print from the 19th century showcases a moment of sheer surprise and fear. Entitled "Lady and gentleman startled by horse" it depicts an English couple caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a majestic steed. The lady, dressed in an elegant long dress adorned with delicate lace frills, is seated on a bench while the gentleman stands beside her, both frozen in astonishment. The setting appears to be a French shop or department store, as indicated by the signage for "Le Petit Chien" and "La Fontaine au Bon Marche". The atmosphere is one of grace and refinement, with manicured gardens serving as a backdrop to this unexpected encounter. The horse itself exudes power and energy, its presence causing anguish and anxiety among those present. It seems that even the dog in the image shares their apprehension. The artist skillfully captures this moment of tension through meticulous details such as facial expressions and body language. This print not only offers us a glimpse into 19th-century European culture but also serves as a reminder of how unpredictable life can be. In an instant, our surroundings can transform from tranquil to tumultuous. This artwork invites us to contemplate our own reactions when faced with unexpected challenges or encounters - do we freeze like these startled individuals or find strength within ourselves to face them head-on?
