EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rising Generation" is a captivating coloured engraving by John Leech that offers a whimsical glimpse into the world of children and their precociousness during the Victorian era. The image showcases a lively scene, set in a domestic setting where young boys and girls are engaged in various activities. In this delightful caricature, we see children dressed in fashionable attire, playing musical instruments such as pianos with remarkable skill. The artist's attention to detail brings out the playful nature of these youngsters as they interact with each other. One boy is overheard expressing his curiosity about a girl who has caught his eye, wondering if she possesses any wealth ("tin") because he feels inclined to compete for her affections. Published in Punch magazine in 1848, "The Rising Generation" captures not only the innocence but also the early social dynamics among children during this period. Leech's artistic talent shines through as he masterfully portrays both the charm and mischievousness of childhood. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind this engraving but also provides insight into historical fashions, domestic scenes, and cultural norms surrounding music education for children at that time. It serves as an intriguing window into an era long gone while reminding us of timeless themes like youthful curiosity and budding romance within "The Rising Generation.
