EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rosa at Mayfield, 1860" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. Created by renowned artist John Leech as an illustration for Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Plain or Ringlets?", this artwork beautifully captures a moment in time. The scene depicts Rosa, a strong-willed woman, on her journey through East Sussex. She sits elegantly in a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by the vibrant colors of nature. The etching showcases the intricate details of the carriage and horses, highlighting their importance as symbols of travel and transportation during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a world where road transport was dominated by these majestic creatures. The busy atmosphere suggests that Rosa is constantly on the move, reflecting both her adventurous spirit and the fast-paced nature of life in 19th century England. Through this artwork's clever use of metaphor and caricature-like style, Leech skillfully portrays Rosa as an empowered lady defying societal norms. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes emotions associated with freedom and independence. Preserved by The Print Collector29 collection from Bradbury & Evans in London, this historical gem reminds us of how art can capture moments from different centuries while still resonating with contemporary audiences today.
