EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print titled "Swell and the Surrey. The Hounds in Full Cry, 1838" captures a humorous scene from the adventures of Mr Jorrocks, a Cockney grocer with grand aspirations for country life. Painted by Henry Thomas Alken, this artwork is part of the renowned book "Jorrockss Jaunts and Jollities; or, The Hunting, Shooting, Racing, Driving, Sailing, Eating, Eccentric and Extravagant Exploits of That Renowned Sporting Citizen". In this delightful image set in rural Britain during the 19th century, we see Mr Jorrocks amidst a foxhunt accompanied by his trusty hounds. With its vivid colors and intricate details depicting horses in full gallop and men riding alongside them with great enthusiasm, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of fox hunting. The print not only showcases Alken's artistic talent but also highlights social class dynamics through satire. It humorously portrays Mr Jorrocks' comical attempts to fit into high society as he navigates through rustic landscapes on horseback. This piece serves as a reminder that dreams can sometimes lead us down unexpected paths. Whether it be an aspirational grocer turned sporting citizen or simply finding joy in pursuing our passions against societal expectations – there is always room for laughter along the way.
