EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'A Month! Without Labour,' depicts two distinguished gentlemen of the Victorian era taking a respite from their professional pursuits. On the left, we find Robert Soutar (1830-1908), an English actor, comedian, stage manager, writer, and director, who wears a hat and holds a pipe in hand, while his expression suggests a certain level of boredom and idleness. His counterpart, Wilhelm Meyer Lutz (1829-1903), a German-born British composer and conductor, is seen on the right, donning glasses and a thoughtful expression as he rests his chin on his hand. The title of the print alludes to their shared unemployment, as they both seemingly enjoy a well-deserved break from their respective careers. The image, created in 1884, captures the essence of the 1880s and the challenges of unemployment during the Victorian era. The men's middle-aged appearance adds a sense of melancholy to the scene, as they seem to ponder their current situation and the future. This evocative print, by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the lives of these two notable figures and their shared experience of unemployment during a time when hard work and perseverance were highly valued.
