EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mr Austin Dobson and Mr Edmund Gosse Composing a Ballade, 1904" we are transported back to the early eighties in Britain. The scene unfolds at the Board of Trade during office hours, where two esteemed gentlemen find themselves engrossed in composing a ballad. Max Beerbohm, the talented artist behind this illustration from his book The Poets Corner, beautifully captures the essence of their creative process. The image showcases Mr Austin Dobson and Mr Edmund Gosse deep in thought as they collaborate on their poetic masterpiece. Their occupation as civil servants adds an intriguing layer to their artistic pursuits, highlighting the duality of their lives. As men immersed in literature and poetry, they manage to find moments of inspiration even amidst their professional responsibilities. However, just as they become lost in their own world of words and music, they are unexpectedly interrupted by Sir Josiah Chamberlain - their President at the Board of Trade. Caught off guard by his presence, we can only imagine how these poets quickly compose themselves before facing him. This colorful caricature not only pays homage to these renowned figures but also serves as a testament to the rich literary tradition that thrived during this period. It is through Max Beerbohm's skillful brushstrokes that we witness a fascinating snapshot capturing both the dedication and passion that fueled these poets' creativity within an otherwise mundane setting.
