EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful coloured engraving by John Leech, we are transported back to the 19th century and find ourselves amidst a lively and amusing scene. The image captures the essence of a grand ball known as "The Hunt Ball" where guests have gathered for an evening filled with laughter, dance, and merriment. As the musicians play a cheerful tune in the background, couples twirl around the room in elegant gowns and dapper attire. The atmosphere is one of joyous revelry as partygoers engage in the popular parlour game called "Ask Mamma" which adds an extra layer of amusement to their festivities. With its humorous undertones and clever choreography, this polka dance brings smiles to everyone's faces. It is evident that even during such formal occasions, there was room for light-heartedness and entertainment. John Leech's skilled hand has beautifully captured every detail of this enchanting moment from a bygone era. From the intricate patterns on each gown to the expressions of pure delight on people's faces, his artistry transports us into this vibrant world. This charming print serves as a reminder that no matter how sophisticated or refined society may be, there will always be moments when we can let loose and embrace our playful side.
