EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an invitation with a vignette from "The First Born" in 1887. The image, taken by Hubert von Herkomer, showcases the exquisite design and lettering of the invitation. The invitation is a testament to the artistic talent of its creator, featuring intricate etchings and meticulous attention to detail. It transports us back to 19th century Britain, where graphic design was considered both a profession and an art form. In this snapshot of history, we see men and women gathered at a private view exhibition in an art gallery. They are engrossed in conversation, admiring the artwork on display. Among them is a carpenter holding his tools, highlighting the diversity of professions represented at such events. Babies can be seen nestled in their mothers' arms or cradled by fathers nearby - a reminder that even amidst cultural pursuits, family remains central to our lives. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into British heritage art during this period. It reminds us of the significance placed on aesthetics and craftsmanship during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this image from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported into an era where creativity flourished and invitations were works of art themselves.
