EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette print, titled "The Card Players" by Edouart, depicts two elegant women, Mrs. Newnham and Miss Wilkinson, engaged in a quiet game of cards at a table illuminated by a single lamp. The image, taken in Bath during the Regency era in 1827, offers a glimpse into the pastime and amusements of the time. Silhouettes, such as this one, were a popular form of art during the 18th and 19th centuries. The technique involves cutting an image from black paper or card, creating a bold and striking contrast against a light background. This method was particularly favored for portraits, as it captured the essential features of the subject while eliminating the need for expensive painting materials. In this print, the women are dressed in the height of Regency fashion, with Mrs. Newnham wearing a high-waisted gown and a bonnet adorned with a large bow, while Miss Wilkinson dons a simple dress and a small cap. Their serious expressions and focused gaze on the cards suggest an intense game, adding to the intrigue and allure of the scene. The table, set with a green baize cloth and a few cards scattered about, further emphasizes the intimate and private nature of their moment. The lamp, casting a warm and inviting light, adds a sense of coziness and comfort to the image. This charming silhouette print, with its historical significance and timeless appeal, serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and pastimes that have endured through the centuries. It invites us to imagine the stories and memories that lie behind the faces of these two Bath characters and to appreciate the beauty and intrigue of this unique art form.
