EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Two gentlemen smoking a cigar and talking after dinner, 1850" takes us back to the refined lifestyle of the 19th century. Illustrated by George du Maurier, a renowned Franco-British cartoonist and author, this engraving beautifully captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie. In this scene, two distinguished gentlemen are seen enjoying their cigars after a sumptuous dinner. The smoke swirls around them as they engage in deep conversation, perhaps discussing matters of politics or philosophy. Their wealth is evident in their attire and surroundings, showcasing the opulence that was often associated with high society during this era. Du Maurier's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his pen brings life to these characters. The artist's skillful use of shading creates depth and texture within the engraving, adding an extra layer of sophistication to the overall composition. As we gaze upon this artwork from another time, we are reminded of how different social customs were in the past. Smoking was not only considered fashionable but also served as a symbol of status and leisurely indulgence. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact that transports us into the world of 19th-century Europe. It invites us to appreciate not only Du Maurier's talent but also provides insight into the lifestyles enjoyed by those who lived during this period.
