EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Highest Life in London: Tom and Jerry Sporting a Toe" we are transported back to the vibrant world of 19th-century England. The scene captures the essence of high society, as depicted in Pierce Egan's renowned novel "Life in London". The image showcases an extravagant ballroom at Almacks, where the elite gather for an evening of revelry and elegance. Amidst the grandeur, two figures stand out - Tom and Jerry. These beloved characters from Egan's book add a touch of mischief and humor to the refined atmosphere. As we gaze upon this colored aquatint by Isaac Robert Cruikshank and George Cruikshank, we are drawn into a world filled with swirling Scottish reels, lively eightsome dances, and enchanting melodies played by a balcony band. The chandelier above illuminates the room with its sparkling radiance while Jane Austen herself might have found inspiration amidst such splendor. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection housed within Bridgeman Images' private collection. It serves as both a historical artifact capturing London's highest social circles during that era and an artistic masterpiece showcasing the talents of these skilled artists. Let this mesmerizing image transport you back in time to experience firsthand what it was like to be part of "Highest Life in London" - where tradition meets exuberance on every dance floor step.
