The Mother of Invention, 1866
EDITORS COMMENTS
by George du Maurier captures a satirical scene from the 19th century, poking fun at domestic bliss. In this engraving, we see an artist husband painting his statuesque wife who poses with a duster and brush in each hand. Their son, little Freddy, sits on his father's shoulders adding to the chaotic yet humorous atmosphere. This cartoon-like image is taken from Punch magazine, known for its witty social commentary. It serves as a metaphor for the challenges faced by women during that era who were expected to maintain their household while also being models for their husbands' artistic endeavors. The print showcases the occupation of a childminder as well as highlighting gender roles within society. The woman's role is depicted as both nurturing her child and fulfilling her husband's artistic vision simultaneously. George du Maurier skillfully captures the essence of this satire through his detailed depiction of characters and their expressions. The monochrome style adds depth to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. As a heritage image partnership print collector1, "The Mother of Invention" offers us a glimpse into the past and reminds us of how societal norms have evolved over time. It serves as an important reminder that art can be used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a tool for social commentary and reflection on our own progress.
