EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases "The Rt. Hon. Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby, The Ladies of Llangollen" after 1831. The image depicts two remarkable Anglo-Irish women, Lady Eleanor Butler (1739-1920) and the Honourable Sarah Ponsonby (1755-1832), whose unconventional relationship both scandalized and fascinated their contemporaries. These aristocratic ladies chose to live together at Plas Newydd in Wales, defying societal norms and expectations. Their story is one of friendship, love, and rebellion against the constraints imposed upon them by their privileged backgrounds. In this intimate scene captured by an English School artist from the 19th century, we see the two friends in a cozy study surrounded by elements that reflect their refined taste and intellectual pursuits. A beautifully adorned desk with an inkwell takes center stage while a content feline companion lounges nearby. The image exudes an air of elegance as it transports us back to a time when aristocracy reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even within rigid social structures, individuals can find solace in genuine connections with kindred spirits. Through this lithograph print held at the New York Public Library's collection, we are granted a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women who dared to challenge societal conventions and forge their own path towards happiness and fulfillment.
