EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "To ladies eyes a round, boys!" takes us back to the 19th century with its black and white composition. This humorous illustration, created by an English School artist, was originally featured in The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1838. In this delightful scene, we see a woman surrounded by young boys who are clearly captivated by her presence. Their wide-eyed expressions and playful gestures reflect their fascination with the fairer sex. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and curiosity of childhood through this charming portrayal. The attention to detail is evident as every line and stroke brings life to each character's features - from their expressive eyes to their mischievous smiles. The contrast of light and shadow adds depth to the overall composition, enhancing its visual appeal. This print not only serves as a reminder of the artistic talent prevalent during the 19th century but also offers a glimpse into societal dynamics at that time. It portrays women as objects of admiration while highlighting the innocent charm of young boys exploring their newfound fascination with femininity. "To ladies eyes a round, boys!" is more than just an engraving; it is a window into history that allows us to appreciate both artistry and cultural nuances from centuries past.
