EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment of lightheartedness and elegance in the form of "The Hombourg Waltz". Published in 1818 by G. Humphrey, it showcases characteristic sketches of family dancing during an informal gathering. The centre couple is none other than Princess Elizabeth, portrayed as grotesquely stout, and the Prince of Hesse-Homburg. In a comical twist, the prince grasps at her dress, unable to reach her waist due to her size. The engraving itself exudes a sense of nostalgia and history with its retro-styled illustrative technique. It transports us back to a time when such dances were not only social events but also opportunities for amusement and connection among members of the Royal family. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within every stroke. Its old-fashioned charm evokes feelings of romance and tradition while providing us with glimpses into historic artistry. This engraved image from the Liszt Collection serves as a testament to our fascination with bygone eras. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found in antique prints like this one – artifacts that capture moments frozen in time yet still capable of igniting our imagination centuries later.
