EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Rot the beggar exclaims Romford, 1865" takes us back to the enchanting countryside of 19th century Britain. The illustration is a remarkable collaboration between renowned artists John Leech and Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz. It was created for Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds" and published by Bradbury, Evans & Co. in London. The scene depicted in this print transports us into a world filled with rustic charm and natural beauty. Three people on horseback are captured mid-jump over a stone wall while hunting through the picturesque countryside. The riders' surprise is palpable as they encounter Rot the beggar, who stands amidst nature's splendor with his tattered clothes contrasting against the vibrant red foliage. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life every element of the composition - from the textured bark of trees to the flowing manes of horses caught in motion. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a metaphor for rural life during that era. As we admire this historical piece, it reminds us of both our connection to nature and our fascination with storytelling through art. Its timeless appeal transcends generations, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or display dedicated to British literature or artistic heritage.
