EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Going to Business (Going to the City)" we are transported back in time to Victorian London. Painted by the talented James Jacques Joseph Tissot in 1879, this panel captures a moment of bustling city life. The scene unfolds with an air of elegance and sophistication. A well-dressed gentleman sits inside a hansom cab, engrossed in his morning newspaper. His top hat adds a touch of formality to his attire, while the pygmalion on top of the carriage exudes charm and character. As we peer into this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the clip-clop sound of hooves hitting cobblestone streets. The skilled cabby expertly handles his whip as he guides his horse through the busy London thoroughfare. Tissot's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to each element within the composition. From the intricate patterns on buildings lining the street to subtle expressions on faces passing by, there is an undeniable sense of realism captured here. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a window into Victorian society for historians. It transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand what it was like going about one's daily business in bustling 19th-century London.
