EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century engraving by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, we witness the tender embrace of Mr. and Mrs. Jones in a beautifully adorned dining room. The year is 1791, and their decision to help the spendthrift Mr. Noel has brought them closer together. The scene captures a moment of solidarity and compassion as the couple realizes that among all their pleasures, the most delightful one is doing good for others. This sentiment is echoed by an inscription on the print: "Amongst all our Pleasures the most delightful is that of doing Good". Engraved by William Blake after Chodowiecki's illustration, this artwork was featured in Mary Wollstonecraft's translation of Christian Gotthilf Salzmann's Elements of Morality. The black-and-white composition adds depth and intensity to the image, emphasizing not only the affection between Mr. and Mrs. Jones but also their commitment to helping those in need. This engraving showcases not only a beautiful moment between husband and wife but also highlights themes of morality, reward, and assistance within society during this era. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the power of love, tenderness, and selflessness – values that transcend time and continue to inspire us today.
