EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Ordinary (i. e. a Tavern) on Sundays at Two O'Clock" takes us back to the lively atmosphere of 18th-century England. The engraving, created in 1787 by Robert Dighton after his watercolor masterpiece, beautifully captures the essence of daily life and entertainment during that era. As we delve into this scene, we find ourselves immersed in an interior filled with abundance and revelry. A group of English men can be seen gathered around a bar, indulging in food and drink as they enjoy their Sunday afternoon. The air is thick with merriment and camaraderie. Dighton's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his brush brings out the expressions on each character's face. Some appear intoxicated, their cheeks flushed with color, while others engage in animated conversation or laughter. This genre painting truly encapsulates the spirit of a joyous gathering at a tavern. The fine art engraving transports us back in time to witness this slice of history firsthand. It serves as a reminder that despite the passage of centuries, human nature remains unchanged – seeking solace and pleasure amidst good company. Displayed proudly by The Granger Collection from New York, this print offers not only aesthetic delight but also an opportunity for reflection on our own traditions and pastimes. Let it serve as a window into another world where dining at a tavern was not just about sustenance but also about forging connections and embracing life's simple pleasures.
