EDITORS COMMENTS
The Duennas Return, from "Illustrated London News", May 19,1860 captures a captivating scene of intrigue and forbidden love in 19th century Britain. In this print by William Luson Thomas, we are transported to an intimate indoor setting where the complexities of societal norms unfold before our eyes. Caught in the act, a male lover is seen at the harpsichord while a female duenna stands guard at the doorway. The tension between them is palpable as they engage in their secret rendezvous. Through this wood engraving, Thomas skillfully conveys not only the physical proximity but also the emotional connection shared between these two individuals. The concept of chaperones or duennas was prevalent during this era when strict social codes dictated proper behavior for men and women. However, here we witness a momentary lapse as love triumphs over conventionality. The key symbolically hanging on the door hints at both access and restriction - representing freedom for some yet confinement for others. This artwork serves as a metaphorical window into a world where desires were suppressed but not extinguished. It reminds us that even within rigid societal structures, human emotions can never be fully contained or controlled. As part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this historic print offers us an invaluable glimpse into British culture during the 19th century. Its intricate details and masterful execution make it an enduring piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
