EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Circumstantial Evidence, 1886 (1891)" by George du Maurier captures a humorous moment between Edwin and Angelina. In the image, Edwin excitedly exclaims that he has found a shot in his piece of partridge, to which Angelina responds with surprise, stating that she too has found one. They both express sympathy for the poor bird having been shot twice. This delightful scene is depicted within an elegant Victorian dining room setting. The couple is seated at a beautifully set table adorned with fine china and covered with a crisp white tablecloth. Their attire reflects the fashion of the time, showcasing their social status and refinement. The artist's attention to detail brings this satirical cartoon to life. From the expressions on their faces to the intricate furniture design, every element contributes to the overall charm of this artwork. George du Maurier was known for his ability to capture societal moments through his illustrations in Punch magazine. This particular print from Society Pictures showcases his talent for combining humor and social commentary. As we gaze upon this black-and-white engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness this amusing exchange between husband and wife during mealtime. It serves as a reminder that even in everyday situations, laughter can be found if we take a moment to appreciate life's peculiarities.
