EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Victorian man giving a lecture" we are transported back to the refined era of the 19th century. The image captures a portly Victorian gentleman, exuding an air of authority and knowledge, as he stands before an audience delivering a lecture. His animated gestures and expressive face suggest that his words are filled with passion and enthusiasm. The men in attendance seem thoroughly entertained by the speaker's discourse, their faces adorned with wide smiles and hearty laughter. Perhaps they find amusement in his witty remarks or appreciate his charismatic delivery style. On the other hand, the ladies appear more reserved, their expressions hinting at a mixture of curiosity and polite interest. This delightful scene is reminiscent of a moment from "Handley Cross; or Mr. Jorrockss Hunt" written by Rs Surtees and illustrated by John Leech in 1854. It offers us a glimpse into both social dynamics and intellectual pursuits during this fascinating period of history. Linda Steward's expertly crafted print allows us to relish in the intricate details captured within this artwork - from the gentlemen's dapper attire to the ornate decor adorning the room. As we gaze upon this piece, we can't help but be drawn into its charm while imagining ourselves among those captivated listeners hanging on every word spoken by this Victorian lecturer.
