EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage engraving from 1796 titled "A Peep At Christies Or Tally Ho" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of art appreciation and social interaction. Miss Farren, a strikingly thin and tall woman, walks alongside Lord Derby as they inspect the pictures at Christie's auction house. With an air of elegance, she peers over his head through a glass at a painting by Zenocrates and Phryne in the second row. Lord Derby, who is caricatured as short and obese, stands beside her wearing riding attire complete with spurred boots and holding a whip. His attention is captured by the picture immediately below - The Death - depicting a huntsman triumphantly presenting a fox to his hounds. Miss Farren appears without a hat, her dress hanging gracefully from her shoulders and trailing behind her. She wears short sleeves and gloves while both she and Lord Derby hold an open catalogue filled with artistic treasures. This historic artwork evokes nostalgia for an era long gone by, offering us glimpses into the cultural history of that time. The engraved image showcases traditional illustrative techniques that were prevalent during this period. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but feel captivated by its romantic charm and appreciate the beauty of historical art preserved within it.
