EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving, titled 'Mr. John Bunting on his Way to the Pic-nic,' depicts an English gentleman named John Bunting, elegantly dressed in a tam o' Shanter cap and whiskers, riding a horse towards a picturesque countryside scene. Accompanying him in a carriage are two ladies in crinoline dresses, their parasols shielding them from the sun. In the foreground, a humbly dressed peasant in a smock observes the scene with curiosity. John Leech, a renowned English caricaturist and illustrator, created this illustration for Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Plain or Ringlets?" published by Bradbury and Evans in London in 1860. Leech's work, known for its comical and humorous take on Victorian life, is on full display in this image. The scene exudes an air of romance and courtship, as John prepares for a day out with his ladies. The gentlemen in the background, Jasper Goldspink and Jack McDermott, watch with evident interest, their rivalry evident in their body language. The image captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its intricate details, from the fireplace and cabinet in the background to the strings of instruments and roses in the foreground. The handcoloured detailing adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, making it a delightful glimpse into the past. This enchanting illustration is a testament to Leech's artistic skill and the enduring charm of Victorian England.
