EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century print captures a delightful encounter between an English gentleman and a French widow on the picturesque Ramsgate promenade. The scene exudes elegance and romance, transporting us back to a bygone era of refined social interactions. The focal point of the image is the French widow, dressed in a vibrant yellow gown with her parasol held gracefully above her head. As she strolls along the promenade, she deliberately drops her handkerchief, catching the attention of Rowley Rounding, an English gentleman who gallantly retrieves it for her. Madame de Normanville and the Squire are depicted amidst a bustling seaside resort atmosphere, surrounded by fishermen going about their daily routines. The artist's handcoloured steel engraving beautifully brings out every detail of this comical yet endearing moment. John Leech, renowned for his caricatures and illustrations in Punch magazine, skillfully captures both humor and femininity in this artwork. This print is part of Robert Smith Surtees' "Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds" series published in London in 1865. As we gaze upon this scene from Victorian England, we can't help but be drawn into its timeless charm. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and fashions, moments like these - chance encounters filled with intrigue - continue to captivate our hearts across generations.
