EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Alarm of Burglars at a Fancy Ball" transports us back to the extravagant world of a bygone era. Created by Arthur Hopkins in 1898 for The Illustrated London News, this print captures the essence of a luxurious and lively fancy ball. The scene unfolds amidst an opulent ballroom adorned with chandeliers and lavish decorations. Dressed in elaborate costumes, attendees revel in the festivities, unaware of the impending danger lurking within their midst. Suddenly, chaos erupts as masked burglars infiltrate the event, sending shockwaves through the crowd. Hopkins masterfully portrays the panic and urgency that ensue as guests scramble to protect themselves and their precious belongings. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from intricate engravings on costumes to expressions etched with fear or determination. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where elegance collides with trepidation. We can almost hear gasps escaping from startled lips and feel hearts pounding against chests. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and celebration, danger can strike unexpectedly. This lithograph not only showcases Hopkins' artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into historical events depicted by The Illustrated London News during Christmas time over a century ago. It stands as both an exquisite piece of artistry and an intriguing window into our past.
