EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Bounders Abroad" captures a humorous scene depicting English people who are disliked on the Continent. Created by William Ralston in 1896, this print offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of that era. The illustration showcases a group of English individuals, easily recognizable by their distinctive attire and mannerisms, as they navigate through unfamiliar territory. With an air of ostentation, these "bounders abroad" carry themselves confidently but seem oblivious to the disdainful glances from locals. Perhaps it is their excessive display of wealth or their tendency to accumulate debts without paying them off that has earned them such notoriety. In the background, we see iconic landmarks like the Shadder of Gibraltar and other hints suggesting that this encounter takes place on neutral ground outside England's borders. Despite being surrounded by breathtaking scenery and fresh air, it appears that these English travelers fail to appreciate or understand the customs and sensibilities of those around them. Ralston's engraving cleverly highlights cultural differences with subtle humor. It serves as a reminder that even when venturing beyond our own shores, it is essential to respect local customs and be mindful of how our actions may be perceived by others.
