EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Great Expectations" by Walter Dendy Sadler takes us back to the Victorian era with its impeccable hand-coloured details. Published in the Illustrated London News on 12 March 1881, this artwork showcases the artist's mastery of capturing humorous scenes from everyday life. In this delightful print, we are transported to a serene riverside setting where men indulge in their favorite pastime of fishing. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as each man holds his fishing rod high, eagerly awaiting a bite. Their faces reveal great expectations for a bountiful catch. Amidst the tranquil riverbanks, umbrellas dot the landscape, providing shade and protection from any unexpected rain showers. It adds an amusing touch to see these gentlemen fully prepared for all eventualities while engaging in their leisurely pursuit. Sadler's attention to detail shines through as he depicts various elements such as fishing nets and other equipment strewn about. This meticulousness enhances our viewing experience and allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this charming moment frozen in time. "Great Expectations" not only captures the essence of Victorian-era pastimes but also reminds us of the universal human desire for hope and anticipation. Whether it be waiting for that elusive fish or anticipating life's next adventure, this enchanting engraving serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes it is indeed more about the journey than the destination itself.
