EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the whimsical world of the 1920s with this charming print titled "An Interval in Motley" by S.S. Longley. The vibrant colour illustration captures a scene straight out of a fancy dress party, featuring Harlequin and Columbine adorned in their elaborate costumes. Harlequin, known for his mischievous nature and colorful diamond-patterned attire, stands beside Columbine, who exudes grace and elegance in her flowing gown. Together, they hold onto balloons that add an extra touch of playfulness to the scene. The intricate details and rich colours bring this vintage print to life, transporting viewers to a time when dressing up was not just for Halloween but a regular form of entertainment. The couple's expressions hint at a moment of pause during their festivities, perhaps taking a break from dancing or mingling with other party-goers. S.S. Longley's artistic talent shines through in this delightful portrayal of two characters from traditional commedia dell'arte theatre. Whether you're a fan of historical fashion or simply appreciate the artistry of bygone eras, "An Interval in Motley" is sure to captivate your imagination and add a touch of nostalgia to any space it graces.
