EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Canvassing a Burrow, 'Come to the pole'" is a humorous illustration by an English School artist. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally created for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1833. The image depicts a comical scene where animals are gathered around a burrow, seemingly engaged in some sort of political campaign. With its clever play on words, the title suggests that these creatures are rallying their fellow inhabitants to come together at the pole (presumably an election pole) for some important event or cause. The intricate details of this engraving showcase the talent and wit of the artist. Each animal has been carefully rendered with humorously exaggerated features, adding to the overall charm of the piece. From rabbits holding signs to squirrels eagerly listening, it's evident that this artwork aims to entertain viewers while also providing social commentary through satire. As we delve into this delightful glimpse into 19th-century humor and artistic style, we can appreciate how timeless comedy can be. This print reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy in whimsical illustrations like these – capturing both our fascination with wildlife and our love for clever wordplay.
