The Visitor Who Told The Master Off
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and amusing illustration by the renowned British cartoonist, H.M. Bateman, created in 1936. The print captures a surprising moment during a hunt, with the Master of the Hunt being scolded by an unseen visitor. The Master's face is a vivid green, indicating his embarrassment and shock, while his horse and hounds cower in fear and worry. The horse's ears are pinned back, its body trembling, and its eyes wide with alarm. The hounds huddle together, their tails tucked between their legs, as they look on with equal parts shock and confusion. Everyone present at the scene seems to be in a state of disbelief, with some covering their mouths in shock and others turning away in embarrassment. The visitor, who remains hidden from view, has clearly said something that has left the Master red-faced and humiliated. The top hat lying on the ground nearby suggests that this visitor may have been a fellow nobleman or a member of the aristocracy, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. Bateman's expert use of line and shading creates a sense of tension and drama, while his keen sense of humor shines through in the exaggerated reactions of the animals and the human figures. Overall, "The Visitor Who Told The Master Off" is a delightful example of Bateman's ability to capture the absurdities and quirks of human behavior, and a testament to his enduring popularity as a master of the humorous illustration.
