The Masquerade – 19th-Century Engraving after Edward Corbould, London & Paris
A refined 19th-century engraving titled *The Masquerade*, drawn by Edward Henry Corbould and engraved by J. Penston, published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London and Paris around 1845. This elegant print captures the grace and allure of a masked ball—an iconic social event of the Victorian era where refinement, secrecy, and flirtation met under the guise of costume.
The scene portrays two beautifully dressed ladies in lavish gowns, leaning together in intimate conversation amid a glittering ballroom. Behind them, masked figures glide across the dance floor beneath crystal chandeliers and ornate Rococo columns. The artist’s mastery of gesture and detail conveys a sense of intrigue and whispered secrets, enhanced by the intricate cross-hatching and tonal shading typical of fine 19th-century line engraving. The dresses, with their voluminous skirts, lace trims, and floral adornments, reflect the height of mid-Victorian fashion.
Edward Henry Corbould (1815–1905) was a prominent English painter and illustrator celebrated for his romantic and historical subjects. His works often evoke the grace and drama of bygone eras, drawing influence from the Pre-Raphaelites and literary Romanticism. The engraver, J. Penston, faithfully translated Corbould’s painterly vision into line, achieving exceptional clarity and texture.
Published by Fisher, Son & Co.—renowned for their luxury illustrated editions—the print exemplifies the high-quality steel engravings that defined mid-19th-century book and art publishing. *The Masquerade* is both a decorative and collectible piece, embodying the refined sensibility and fascination with elegance that characterized Victorian art.
