EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century etching titled "Mr. Barege & The Draft" artist John Leech brings to life the fictional character from Robert Smith Surtees' novel, Handley Cross; or, Mr. Jorrockss Hunt. The print showcases a bustling farmyard scene with vibrant colors and intricate details. Amidst the picturesque backdrop of rustic buildings and rolling hills, we see Mr. Barege standing tall in his distinguished red hunting jacket and top hat. His confident stance exudes authority as he holds a whip in one hand while clutching a book in the other, perhaps indulging in literature during a momentary respite from his duties. Accompanying him is an elegant foxhound by his side, loyal and ready for any adventure that may come their way. The presence of two people nearby hints at the camaraderie shared amongst fellow hunters within this rural community. The composition beautifully captures the essence of 19th-century country life - its charm, elegance, and passion for outdoor pursuits such as hunting. Every element within the frame tells a story - from Mr. Barege's impeccable dress sense to the meticulously rendered farmyard setting. This remarkable print serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a window into historical fiction where characters like Mr. Barege come alive through Surtees' vivid storytelling and Leech's skilled craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this enchanting image today, it transports us back to another era filled with adventure, tradition, and
