EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1875, we are transported back to a time of chivalry and politeness. The scene depicts a man opening a gate for a lady, showcasing the gentlemanly manners of the era. The man's gesture is one of respect and courtesy towards the woman, highlighting the importance placed on proper etiquette in society during the late nineteenth century.
The couple in the image exude an air of sophistication and elegance, dressed in typical Victorian attire. The woman appears delicate and feminine, while the man stands tall and masculine beside her. Their body language suggests a close bond or perhaps even romantic relationship.
The setting is quaint yet picturesque, with lush greenery surrounding them as they stand at the entrance to what seems to be a grand estate or garden. The illustration captures a moment frozen in time, offering us a glimpse into the customs and social norms of that period.
This print serves as a reminder of days gone by when simple acts of kindness like opening a gate for someone were considered not just polite but essential. It evokes nostalgia for an era where manners mattered and gestures of gallantry were appreciated.
