1. Title: A Man Servant with Usual Meal Table (ca. 1890) This evocative drawing captures a moment in time from the late 19th century, depicting a male servant in a traditional setting as he prepares to enjoy his meal. The image, dated around 1890, presents a full-length view of the servant, who stands to the left of the frame, holding a small, round table laden with dishes. His attire is that of a formal servant, with a white shirt, black waistcoat, and a bow tie, reflecting the formal dining customs of the era. The table, set for one, is adorned with a white tablecloth, a silver saltshaker, a small pitcher, and several plates, one of which holds a steaming bowl of stew or porridge. The servant's expression is one of quiet contentment, as he gazes off into the distance, perhaps lost in thought or simply enjoying the momentary respite from his duties. This drawing offers a glimpse into the daily life of a servant during the Victorian era, a time when the roles of the servant class were deeply intertwined with the lives of the wealthy households they served. The simple act of taking a meal becomes a poignant reminder of the complex social dynamics that existed between the classes during this period. The intricate details in the drawing, from the textures of the tablecloth and the servant's uniform to the subtle expressions on their faces, bring the scene to life and transport us back in time. This image is a testament to the rich history and cultural nuances of the Victorian era, offering a unique perspective on the lives of those who lived and worked during this fascinating period.
