EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "The Royal Academicians Assembled in the Council Room, Somerset House 1793," dates back to 1886 and is an intriguing glimpse into the history of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, England. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," depicts a crowded council room filled with esteemed members of the Royal Academy, all dressed in the fashion of the 18th century. Among the notable figures in the room, we can identify Benjamin West, President of the Royal Academy at the time, and Sir Henry Singleton, a prominent British artist. The room itself is adorned with paintings and sculptures, adding to the grandeur and importance of the occasion. The Royal Academy, founded in 1768, is one of the oldest fine arts institutions in the English-speaking world. Its members, known as Royal Academicians, are recognized for their significant contributions to the arts. In this print, we see these artists and patrons gathered together, likely for a meeting or exhibition, in the historic Denmark Hall at Somerset House. The print offers a fascinating look at the fashion and style of the time, with both men and women dressed in the elegant clothing of the Georgian era. The intricate details of their attire, from the voluminous skirts of the women to the tailored coats of the men, add to the overall sense of grandeur and sophistication. This print, though its creator remains unknown, offers a unique window into the past, providing us with a glimpse into the world of the Royal Academy and the artists and patrons who shaped the artistic landscape of Britain during the 18th century.
