The Rising Generation
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Leech is a captivating coloured engraving that offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into the world of Victorian youth. This lively scene depicts two young boys engaging in an animated conversation, surrounded by the trappings of their domestic life. The artist skillfully captures the precociousness of these boys as they discuss matters beyond their years. One boy, confidently addressing his elder, asserts his need for independence and freedom, declaring that he must have chambers and a weekly allowance. The other boy listens attentively, perhaps contemplating his own desires for autonomy. Set against the backdrop of a cozy fireplace, this caricature showcases not only the fashions and styles prevalent during this era but also highlights the evolving roles and aspirations of children within society. Leech's attention to detail brings each character to life, with their expressive faces conveying both innocence and determination. "The Rising Generation" invites us to reflect on how societal norms are challenged by younger generations seeking greater agency in shaping their lives. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly mundane moments, significant shifts can occur within family dynamics and social structures. This delightful print from Bridgeman Images is not just an amusing portrayal of childhood; it also prompts us to consider our own attitudes towards progress and change.
