EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson captures a scene in a circulating library, most likely Ainsworth's, Saums or Whiting's. The image depicts customers browsing through new books, with particular focus on a woman and her black servant. This intriguing composition offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time. The presence of the woman and her servant raises questions about power dynamics and societal norms. It is interesting to note that while the woman appears to be engrossed in selecting books, her servant stands dutifully behind her. This juxtaposition highlights the stark contrast between their roles within society. Rowlandson's caricature style adds an element of humor to this otherwise thought-provoking scene. The exaggerated features and expressions of the characters add depth to their personalities and invite viewers to contemplate their individual stories. Furthermore, this engraving provides insight into 19th-century British culture and values. It showcases not only the popularity of circulating libraries during this period but also sheds light on attitudes towards race, class, and gender. Overall, this print serves as both an artistic representation of daily life in England at that time and as a historical document offering valuable insights into societal structures and relationships.
