Corner Eighteenth Enters Pitcher
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Respite: An Eighteenth-century Encounter, by Thomas Nast (1885) This print, created by the renowned American illustrator Thomas Nast in 1885, portrays a moment of quiet interaction between two men in eighteenth-century attire. The scene takes place in a room, where the first man, a handsome young gentleman, sits comfortably in a corner, his tri-corner hat resting on the floor beside him. His faithful dog lies at his feet, adding to the serene atmosphere. Suddenly, the tranquility is interrupted as a second man enters the room, carrying a pitcher. His presence is marked by the soft light that filters in from the doorway, casting an intriguing contrast against the darker corners of the room. The men exchange glances, their expressions unreadable, as the moment unfolds before us. Thomas Nast, a prolific cartoonist and illustrator, is known for his intricate and detailed depictions of historical scenes, both from English and American history. This particular work showcases his exceptional ability to capture the essence of the eighteenth century, from the meticulously rendered clothing to the authentic setting. Nast spent the latter part of his life in England, and his work continues to be celebrated as the finest American illustration preceding Howard Pyle. This print, with its timeless charm and evocative detail, is a testament to Nast's enduring influence on the world of illustration.
