EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Very Polite (engraving)" by John Leech depicts a dramatic scene filled with intrigue and hospitality. In this enchanting artwork, we witness the Party on the Grey horse, known for his impeccable manners, extending an invitation to lunch to a group of strangers. With great courtesy, he shows them the nearest way to his house but humorously leads them astray by half a mile. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition. The horses are beautifully rendered, showcasing their strength and elegance as they prance through the countryside. Leech's skillful engraving technique brings life and movement to each character in this whimsical narrative. "Very Polite (engraving)" not only captures a moment of light-heartedness but also reflects societal norms and values during its time of creation. It was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on April 26th, 1856. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection invites us into a world where politeness reigns supreme even amidst playful deception. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be drawn into the story unfolding before our eyes – one that reminds us of both the power of courtesy and the joy found in unexpected adventures.
