EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical print, titled "The Baron vills his Wet" captures a scene from the humorous adventures of Mr Jorrocks, a Cockney grocer with aspirations for country life. Painted by Henry Thomas Alken in 1838, this artwork is part of the book "Jorrockss Jaunts and Jollities" written by Robert Smith Surtees. In this lively illustration, we witness Mr Jorrocks' eccentricity as he attempts to embrace the sporting lifestyle. The image showcases an aristocratic setting with horses and hay bales surrounding our protagonist. With his unmistakable Cockney charm, Mr Jorrocks engages in conversation with a veterinary surgeon or vet. Alken's use of color adds vibrancy to the scene while capturing the essence of 19th-century British society. This satirical portrayal highlights social class differences and pokes fun at those who aspire to rise above their station. "The Baron vills his Wet" not only serves as an amusing visual representation but also provides insight into the aspirations and dreams of individuals during that era. It reminds us that even though societal norms may dictate one's place in life, there will always be those who dare to dream bigger. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back in time to witness one man's pursuit of adventure amidst laughter and satire—a testament to both Alken's artistic talent and Surtees' storytelling prowess.
