EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Syntax, the beloved character created by English satirist and cartoonist William Combe, is depicted in this charming 19th century print taking possession of his new living as a parish priest. Dressed in the traditional robes and cassock of the Anglican clergy, Dr. Syntax sits confidently in the carriage, his wife by his side, as they approach the vicarage, their new home. The couple's arrival signifies the beginning of a new chapter in their lives as they settle into their role in the community. The scene is set in a quintessentially British street, lined with trees and quaint houses, and the couple's horse-drawn carriage adds to the sense of grandeur and social status that came with being a member of the clergy in England during this period. Dr. Syntax's wife, elegantly dressed and holding a parasol, gazes out at the scenery with a look of excitement and anticipation. The print captures the spirit of the times, offering a glimpse into the social scenes of rural England during the 1810s. The arrival of a new vicar and his family was an important event in the life of a parish, and this print serves as a reminder of the significance of the clergy in the daily lives of the people of England during this period.
