EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Old enough (Old enough to know better)" or "The Marquis of Capricorn," is a charming depiction from the series of shadow portraits created by the renowned English artist, Charles H. Bennett, in 1860. The image showcases an elderly goat, adorned with a crown of ivy and holding a posy of flowers, casting an intricate shadow of a ram on a wall. The Marquis of Capricorn, as he is affectionately known, appears to be on his way to court a lady friend, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, suggesting that despite his age, he is still very much in the game of love. The ram's horns and the goat's flowing mane add to the whimsical and fantastical atmosphere of the scene. Charles H. Bennett's Shadow and Substance series is a fascinating collection of shadow portraits that brings to life a cast of fictional characters, each with their unique personalities and stories. This historical illustration, with its intricate details and playful narrative, offers a glimpse into the imaginative world of Bennett and the stories he created. The Marquis of Capricorn, with his old age and youthful spirit, is a testament to the timeless nature of love and the human condition. This image is a must-have for any collection of historical illustrations, shadow art, or those with an appreciation for the whimsical and fantastical.
