EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely crafted silhouette, created by the renowned artist Edouart in 1836, captures the essence of a mid-19th century gentleman in the act of taking a pinch of snuff. The subject of the silhouette is identified as Mr. Solomon Sheldon of Woodburn Place, London. The intricate detailing and lifelike quality of the image are a testament to Edouart's masterful skills as a silhouette artist. Snuff, a finely ground tobacco, was a popular habit among the upper classes during the 1800s. Mr. Sheldon, with an air of refinement and sophistication, reaches for his snuffbox, a sign of his affluence and status. The box, not visible in this image, would have been made of precious materials such as ivory or silver, further emphasizing the gentleman's wealth and taste. The silhouette was produced in Cheltenham, a town known for its thriving silhouette industry during the 19th century. The art of silhouette making reached its peak during this time, with many artists, including Edouart, creating intricately detailed and lifelike images. This silhouette is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and habits of a mid-19th century gentleman. The image is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and a reminder of the rich history and culture of the 19th century.
