EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical coloured engraving captures the essence of mid-19th century entertainment with a humorous twist. The print, titled "Equestrian" showcases the artistic talent of Charles Henry Bennett as he collaborates with Robert B Brough for their book, Shadow and Substance. In this amusing scene, we are transported to a world where shadows come to life in the form of caricatures. A contrast is drawn between various personalities driving different types of carriages, each representing a specific occupation or type of person. From the elegant Victorian woman in her carriage to the satirical depiction of farm animals pulling a post chaise, every character adds an entertaining element to this satirical drawing. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow brings depth and dimension to these lively figures. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, they evoke laughter from viewers as they navigate through their daily lives on horseback or in carriages. This whimsical print not only entertains but also serves as a scathing satire on societal norms and conventions prevalent during that era. It reminds us that even amidst our serious occupations, there is room for laughter and amusement. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from its private collection, allowing us to appreciate the wit and creativity that went into creating such an engaging artwork.
