EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a heartwarming scene of young Johnny engrossed in reading to the esteemed Sir Jeffery Gourmand within the confines of his study. Handcoloured with exquisite detail, this copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson brings to life the enchanting tale of "Johnny Quae Genus, the Little Foundling" as penned by William Combes. In this Regency England setting, we witness Johnny's dedication and passion for knowledge as he diligently shares his literary treasures with Sir Jeffery. The richly adorned study serves as a backdrop, filled with shelves upon shelves of books that reflect both taste and erudition. As Johnny sits comfortably before a screen, surrounded by an abundance of textbooks and manuscripts, one can almost feel the scholarly atmosphere permeating through the image. It is evident that education holds great value in this era, where even foundlings like Johnny are given opportunities to expand their minds. Sir Jeffery Gourmand himself epitomizes indulgence and excesses associated with gout-ridden aristocracy. Yet here he is portrayed as an eager listener, captivated by Johnny's storytelling prowess. This juxtaposition between wealth and humility adds depth to the narrative depicted within this handcoloured masterpiece. Through Rowlandson's skillful artistry and Combes' imaginative storytelling, viewers are transported into a world where knowledge transcends social boundaries. This print not only celebrates literature but also highlights the power of education in shaping lives – even those considered least likely
