EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heaving, 1816" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a humorous scene within the confines of a room. Six young women are seen lifting a chair in which a nonchalant young man is seated, seemingly oblivious to their efforts. The room is filled with laughter and amusement as two other girls peer curiously through an open door, where a man is about to enter. The etching beautifully portrays the fashion of that era, showcasing the intricate details of clothing worn by both men and women. The ladies don elegant dresses while the gentlemen sport hats adding an air of sophistication to this playful moment. This artwork was created anonymously but bears all the hallmarks of James Stephanoff's style, known for his satirical depictions. It offers us a glimpse into pastimes enjoyed during this period when indoor entertainment played such an important role in social gatherings. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome image captures not only people engaging in play but also reflects on societal concepts prevalent during that time. Its timeless appeal continues to evoke smiles from viewers even today.
