EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming handcoloured steel engraving captures the surprise and delight on the face of Mr. Jorrocks, the English grocer, as he enters his dining room unannounced, only to find his wife, Mrs. Jorrocks, adorned in a vibrant red and gold turban, and his guests, Captain Doleful and Miss Belinda, in the midst of a lively meal. The scene, taken from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Handley Cross, or Mr. Jorrocks' Hunt," published in 1854, is a delightful snapshot of Victorian-era courtship and infatuation. The grocer, dressed in his usual work attire, carries a billy and a bag, suggesting he has just returned from a long day at the market. The room is filled with the warm glow of candlelight and the aroma of a roast bird, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. Mrs. Jorrocks, with her black crinoline and garland of flowers, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, while Captain Doleful, with his serious expression and carving knife in hand, adds a touch of humor to the scene. Miss Belinda, leaning over the table, looks up in surprise as Mr. Jorrocks enters, her hand reaching for a ring of jewelry on the table. The engraving, created by John Leech, masterfully captures the essence of the novel's comical and humorous tone, transporting us back to the Victorian era and the world of Mr. Jorrocks and his adventures. This beautiful and intricately detailed print is a testament to the enduring charm of the past and the timeless nature of love and romance.
