EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "News from Worthing, 1807" we are transported back in time to witness a peculiar scene. A young woman, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the era, perches atop a stubborn donkey that has taken an unexpected liking to the sea. The image was originally published on May 25,1807 by Laurie and Whittle in London and illustrated by Isaac Cruikshank. The composition exudes a sense of whimsy as the woman's umbrella shields her from the sun while she patiently waits for her four-legged companion to move. The donkey, however, seems determined to challenge its rider's expectations by remaining firmly planted in the water. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into early England and highlights both human-animal dynamics and seaside leisure activities popular during that period. It is evident that this unusual occurrence caught the attention of many at that time. Granger Art on Demand now presents this intriguing piece captured by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection for our enjoyment today. As we explore historical prints like these, we can appreciate how they provide valuable insights into past cultures and offer endless opportunities for reflection upon our own place within history.
