EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an intimate gathering of esteemed individuals immersed in literature and art. Painted by Henry Tonks, this piece titled "Saturday Night in the Vale" or alternatively known as "An Evening in the Vale" offers a glimpse into a vibrant social scene during the late 1920s. In the foreground, we see George Moore, an influential writer of his time, engrossed in reading aloud from his manuscript of Aphrodite in Aulis. His expressive gestures captivate the attention of those around him. The audience comprises notable figures such as St John Hutchinson and Philip Wilson Steer - both renowned artists - along with Mrs Mary St John Hutchinson. The setting is richly detailed; an elegant living room adorned with tasteful furniture creates an ambiance conducive to intellectual discussions and artistic exchanges. The dim lighting adds depth to this nocturnal gathering, emphasizing its mysterious allure.
