EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century steel engraving, titled "CHACUN À SON GOÛT. Everyone to his taste" transports us back to the elegance and romance of the 18th century. The intricate artwork, created by James Stephanoff, depicts an intimate scene in an opulent interior. A couple is seated on a sumptuous couch, surrounded by lavish furnishings that reflect their upper-class status. The man gazes adoringly at his female companion, while she kneels before him with a crutch in hand—a symbol of her devotion and admiration. This declaration of passion is captured beautifully through Stephanoff's skilled engraving technique. The English artist masterfully portrays the essence of each character: the gallant gentleman exudes charm and sophistication, while the woman emanates grace and beauty. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, adding authenticity to this historical snapshot. "CHACUN À SON GOÛT" serves as a reminder that beauty lies in individual preferences—each person has their own unique taste when it comes to matters of love and desire. This sentiment resonates throughout history as people navigate relationships based on personal inclinations rather than societal expectations. As we admire this remarkable print from The Granger Collection's archives, we are transported into a world where courtship was an art form and declarations of affection were made with utmost sincerity. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, human emotions remain timeless—an eternal testament to our shared humanity.
