EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant city life of 18th century London. Titled "Gambling at Whites Club, 1734" it is a reproduction of an engraving by William Radclyffe from Hogarth's famous series, The Rake's Progress. The scene depicts a private gaming house filled with members of the upper class indulging in their passion for gambling. The image transports us into this smoky and dimly lit interior, where noise and panic fill the air. The intense expressions on the faces of the gamblers reveal their shock and dismay as they witness someone losing heavily in a game. A fire crackles in the background, adding to the atmosphere of tension and excitement. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into both social class dynamics and human nature during that era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people were drawn to risk-taking activities like gambling. This print is part of Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century" published in 1925 by A. & C. Black Ltd. , offering readers an immersive visual experience alongside his insightful writings about British society at that time. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history lover, this stunning piece allows you to step back in time and explore one aspect of Londoner's lives during the 18th century - their fascination with gambling within exclusive clubs like Whites Club.
