EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mrs Eyre, 1842" showcases a stunning portrait of a woman from the Victorian era. The colour lithograph was created by Lieutenant Vincent Eyre, who served in the Bengal Artillery during the 1st Afghan War (1838-42). This particular artwork is part of an album containing 29 coloured lithographs that Lt. Eyre intended to publish in his book "Officers, Ladies and Scenes in Afghanistan" in 1843. The subject of this portrait is believed to be Lt. Eyre's wife, although it is not explicitly stated. The lady exudes elegance as she sits gracefully with her needlework or sewing project at hand. Her profile is beautifully captured, showcasing her delicate features and ringlets cascading down her shoulders. The artist's attention to detail shines through as he captures every intricate aspect of her Victorian costume. From the folds and textures of her dress to the fine embroidery on her sleeves, each element adds depth and authenticity to the portrayal. This print offers us a glimpse into domestic life during this period while also highlighting Lt. Eyre's artistic talent and dedication to capturing scenes from his time spent in Afghanistan. It serves as a testament to both historical events and personal connections within military life during this significant era.
