EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mr West and Family" by G. S and J. G Facius, printed in London by John Boydell in 1779, offers a glimpse into the lives of an esteemed family during the 18th century. The coloured stipple engraving showcases Benjamin West, a renowned American artist, along with his loved ones. This masterpiece is housed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London. In this enchanting portrait, we witness a harmonious gathering of individuals from different generations. Mr West stands tall as the patriarch figure exuding confidence and wisdom. Surrounding him are women adorned in elegant attire, emanating grace and poise. A group of children adds youthful energy to the composition - boys seated beside their mothers while infants rest peacefully on laps. The meticulous attention to detail captured by G. S and J. G Facius brings life to each character portrayed within this artwork. From delicate facial expressions to intricate clothing patterns, every element contributes to the overall narrative presented. This particular piece holds special significance as it was dedicated to her Imperial Majesty of all Russia - a testament to its international recognition even during that era. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time; witnessing not only a family but also glimpses into societal norms and familial bonds cherished centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an avenue for storytelling and preserving history for future generations.
