EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 1869 book "Doctor Syntaxs three tours in search of the picturesque consolation and a wife" by William Combe, illustrated by Rowlandson. The image depicts a Maison close, or brothel, with all its intriguing elements. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical setting to life. Rowlandson's skillful hand showcases his ability to convey complex emotions through his drawings. In this particular piece, he explores themes of voyeurism and harlotry, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into the hidden world behind closed doors. The composition is rich in symbolism and invites contemplation on societal norms and taboos surrounding sexuality during that era. It serves as a reminder of how art can challenge conventions and shed light on aspects of human nature that are often kept secret. Leonard de Selva's expert photography preserves every intricate line and shade captured in this remarkable illustration. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in history. This print is not just a beautiful work of art; it also serves as a valuable historical document. It offers us insight into the past while encouraging us to reflect on our own society's attitudes towards intimacy and desire.
