EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century etching titled "Admiration, 1800". Thomas Rowlandson beautifully captures a scene of pure delight and longing. The artwork showcases a young boy standing by a window, his eyes fixated on something beyond our view. His face reflects both hunger and admiration as he gazes at what appears to be a delectable plum pudding. Rowlandson's masterful use of color brings the print to life, emphasizing the boy's yearning for the tantalizing treat before him. The warm hues evoke a sense of comfort and desire, drawing viewers into the scene. The image not only portrays an individual craving food but also explores broader themes such as human desires and aspirations. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of scarcity or want, our dreams can still ignite hope within us. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this work by Rowlandson is part of his larger body of satirical illustrations that often depicted scenes from everyday life in Britain during the 19th century. Through his artistry, Rowlandson invites us to reflect on our own desires and appreciate the simple pleasures that bring joy to our lives. "Admiration, 1800" remains an enduring testament to Rowlandson's talent as an artist and storyteller while reminding us all about the power of imagination in finding solace amidst adversity.
