EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical engraving, titled "Ya-ah! Macker-el! William of Trumpington, Abbot of St. Alban's" we are transported back to 19th century England. The artist behind this humorous piece is John Leech, known for his satirical illustrations. The scene captures the bustling streets of an English town where a mackerel seller stands at the center of attention. With a mischievous grin on his face, he enthusiastically calls out to passersby, drawing them in with his catchy sales pitch: "Ya-ah! Macker-el!". His animated gestures and lively demeanor add to the overall comedic effect. Amidst the crowd stands William of Trumpington, Abbot of St. Alban's Abbey. Dressed in traditional religious attire and holding a walking stick, he appears both intrigued and amused by the spectacle before him. This juxtaposition between religion and everyday life adds depth to the satire portrayed in this print. This artwork is part of "The Comic History of England" series by Gilbert A Beckett, published in London during the mid-19th century. It reflects not only the artistic talent but also serves as a social commentary on English society at that time. With its clever blend of humor and historical context, this print offers viewers a glimpse into 19th century England through an entertaining lens.
