EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Man and woman of Lisbon, Portugal, 1818" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of Lisbon during the early 19th century. The image showcases a man and a woman dressed in traditional attire, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion and customs of that era. The woman is adorned in a black veil and mourning dress, suggesting she may have recently experienced loss or tragedy. Her somber appearance contrasts with the colorful surroundings, creating an intriguing juxtaposition. The handcoloured copperplate engraving adds depth and richness to their costumes, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details. This artwork is part of Mary Anne Venning's educational book called "A Geographical Present" which aimed to provide descriptions of various countries around the world. Venning was not only a female author but also a tutor who contributed significantly to geography education during her time. As we admire this print, we are transported back to Regency-era Lisbon, where these individuals were likely part of its bustling society. Their presence reminds us that history is made up of countless stories from people belonging to different tribes and nations across the globe. Brought to life by Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction techniques, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty captured by English School artists as well as gain insights into Portuguese culture two centuries ago.
