Strawberries and Cream,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an 1838 Illustration by Alfred Crowquill This delightful and humorous illustration, titled "Strawberries and Cream," was first published in 1838, showcasing the playful and gluttonous nature of men during the early Victorian era. The scene depicts a group of men seated around a table, each one in various stages of indulgence as they devour a generous serving of strawberries and cream. The central figure, a portly man with a mischievous grin, leans forward in his chair, his eyes closed in bliss as he shovels another spoonful of the delectable treat into his mouth. The other men at the table, equally enamored with the dessert, can't help but join in the revelry. One man, with a strawberry-stained chin, reaches for another berry with an exaggerated stretch. Another, with a spoonful of cream poised at the ready, looks on with a knowing smirk. The table is laden with the luscious fruits and their accompanying cream, spilling over the edges of the dish in a testament to the men's unabashed enjoyment. The illustration, created by Alfred Crowquill using a crowquill pen, is a charming and humorous representation of the simple pleasure of enjoying a sweet treat with friends. The comic and lighthearted nature of the scene, with its exaggerated expressions and gestures, speaks to the spirit of camaraderie and gluttony that was a part of the social fabric of the time. This illustration, a treasure from the 1830s, continues to delight and amuse viewers with its timeless depiction of the human experience.
