EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1900 showcases an English gentleman driving a tandem across the countryside by moonlight. The scene is illuminated by lanterns, creating a magical ambiance as the nobleman embarks on his journey. The artwork, created by Henry Thomas Alken, depicts an adventurous moment in history when John Mytton, slightly intoxicated, drove home from Cronkhill for a wager. The image captures the essence of high society and nobility during this era. It portrays how individuals of means would comfortably traverse the country after dinner using carriages like this tandem. The moonlit sky adds an ethereal touch to the composition while highlighting the vastness of space. As we delve into this early twentieth-century masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness not only a means of conveyance but also a glimpse into British culture and European society at large. This print encapsulates both elegance and adventure as it showcases several persons enjoying their nighttime travel through picturesque green pastures. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this exquisite lithograph allows us to appreciate the artistry behind capturing such moments in history. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there is still beauty to be found in traditional forms of transportation and exploration.
