EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous engraving titled "There was a young Lady of Bicester" we are transported back to the Victorian era, where societal norms and expectations were rigidly upheld. The image captures a moment of amusement as a young lady finds herself in an amusing predicament. The scene depicts a comical situation where the lady in question is bound by social conventions, unable to confess her true feelings or resist the advances of her suitor. With a satirical touch, the artist portrays her as passive and fainting at the mere thought of breaking free from these constraints. This print serves as both entertainment and social commentary on the restrictive nature of Victorian society. Through clever satire, it highlights how individuals were expected to conform to societal expectations rather than express their own desires freely. The playful tone and witty composition make this engraving an amusing addition to any collection. It reminds us that even in times when humor may have been suppressed, there were still moments of levity that could be found within these strict boundaries. With its blend of funny storytelling and artistic skill, "There was a young Lady of Bicester" offers viewers a glimpse into the lighter side of Victorian life while subtly critiquing its limitations.
