EDITORS COMMENTS
In this amusing engraving titled "There was a young Lady of Ongar" we are transported to the Victorian era where humor and satire were prevalent. The English School artist, from the 19th century, skillfully captures the essence of this comical scene. The image portrays a divine young lady who stands tall and strong, defying societal norms with her humorous antics. She is depicted wearing longer skirts, poking fun at the fashionable crinolette trend of that time. With a mischievous smile on her face, she seems to be growing in both wit and stature as she challenges conventional expectations. This satirical print is reminiscent of R. D's work in his book "Less Eminent Victorians". It serves as a reminder that even during an era known for its strict social codes and rigid customs, there were individuals who dared to defy these norms with their unique sense of humor. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, we cannot help but feel a tinge of regret for not having witnessed firsthand the audacity and wit displayed by this lady from Ongar. Through this image, we are reminded that laughter has always been an essential part of human existence – it transcends time and brings joy to our lives. Overall, this engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's lighter side while showcasing the timeless power of humor in challenging societal conventions.
