EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical 19th-century etching captures the chaotic scene of "Mr. Jorrockss Bath" with great humor and detail. Created by artist John Leech, this print is based on a scene from Robert Smith Surtees' book, Handley Cross; or, Mr. Jorrockss Hunt. Inside a dimly lit swimming pool area at night, we find ourselves amidst an unexpected emergency unfolding before our eyes. The central figure, Mr. Jorrocks himself, is portrayed as a hapless man in distress while attempting to swim. His panicked expression and flailing limbs evoke laughter from the other men present in the room. The concept of difficulty and drowning takes center stage here as Mr. Jorrocks struggles to stay afloat amidst his own comedic misadventures. Leech's skillful use of color adds depth to the illustration, emphasizing both the chaos and amusement surrounding this fictional character. This print serves as a testament to the wit and creativity prevalent in 19th-century literature and artistry. It offers us a glimpse into the comedic genius of Surtees' writing while showcasing Leech's ability to bring these characters to life through his masterful portraiture. As we observe this amusing snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us that even during difficult moments, laughter can be found if one embraces their inner comedian - just like Mr. Jorrocks does here in his comically disastrous attempt at swimming!
