The image is taken from Handley Cross; or, Mr. Jorrocksas Hunt by Rs Surtees and illustrated by John Leech, published in London in 1854.

Their displeased countenances hint at relationship difficulties or perhaps some social gathering mishaps. The atmosphere is filled with activity and emotion as people engage in lively communication and enjoy the celebration together.

The traditional clothing worn by attendees adds authenticity to this snapshot of history.
