EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a humorous scene from the 19th century publication "Amusements for the Sea-side (verso) (Punch, or the London Charivari, September 20,1873)". The image shows two men conversing on a seafront with an invalid carriage in the background. One man addresses his friend, asking if everything is alright. The other man responds that he is simply seeking some excitement and has taken the girls out for exercise. He then invites his friend to join them. The photo reflects the societal norms of Victorian Britain, depicting women dressed in elegant dresses while being pulled in a rickshaw-like carriage by men. This portrayal highlights gender roles and expectations of that era. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown but it was originally published as part of George du Maurier's work in Punch magazine. Du Maurier was known for his satirical illustrations which often commented on social issues with humor. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this wood engraving offers us a glimpse into life during the 19th century seaside amusements. It serves as a reminder of how societal attitudes towards gender have evolved over time and provides insight into popular forms of entertainment during that period.
