EDITORS COMMENTS
William Ward's enchanting mezzotint print, "Inside of a Country Alehouse," published on March 1, 1797, transports us back to the heart of rural England during the late eighteenth century. The hand-coloured mezzotint on cream wove paper captures the lively scene inside a quintessential English alehouse. A group of men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, gather around a table, engaged in a spirited game or conversation. The warm, inviting interior is filled with the rustic charm of wooden beams, open hearth, and an array of animals, including a hare and a dog, adding to the rustic allure. At the door, a man arrives, holding up his hat and looking inquiringly at the scene within. The arrival of a newcomer adds to the sense of community and camaraderie. The print, by renowned British artist George Morland (1763-1804), is a testament to the rich heritage of regionalism and rural life in eighteenth-century Britain. The meticulous hand-colouring brings the print to life, adding depth and vibrancy to the already intricate mezzotint technique. This work of art is a must-see for any art lover, history enthusiast, or those interested in the social and cultural aspects of the past. This print is part of the impressive collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art centre and museum, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
