EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful coloured engraving, we are transported to the world of Handley Cross by Robert Smith Surtees. The illustration captures a comical moment in the story featuring the lovable character Mr. Jorrocks, a sporting grocer with an adventurous spirit. As rain pours down relentlessly, Mr. Jorrocks finds himself on a bye day from his usual activities. Mounted on his trusty horse, he appears rather plump and jolly as he navigates through the wet terrain. The artist John Leech skillfully portrays Mr. Jorrocks' larger-than-life personality through exaggerated features and playful caricature. Despite being lost in this rainy escapade, there is an undeniable sense of satire and humor present in the scene. Leech's artistic style perfectly complements Surtees' witty storytelling, creating a visual narrative that brings joy to its viewers. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of classic literature and artistry that transcends time periods. It invites us to immerse ourselves in tales filled with memorable characters like Mr. Jorrocks who embody resilience and good-natured humor even when faced with unexpected challenges. Displayed proudly within someone's private collection or gallery space, this print from Fine Art Finder showcases not only exceptional craftsmanship but also celebrates the enduring power of imagination captured within works of art throughout history.
