EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Handley Cross / Jorrocks," or "Mr. Jorrocks Rides to the Hunt," transports us back in time to the Victorian era of 1843. The image, published in a book and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a lively scene on a bustling street in Handley Cross, a small town in England. At the center of the photograph, we find the iconic character of Mr. Jorrocks, created by the renowned English author, Jerrold and popularized by the works of Richard Harris Barham and Thomas Hood. Mr. Jorrocks, a rotund, jovial, and mischievous character, is known for his love of hunting and the countryside. In this photograph, he is depicted astride a horse, ready to embark on a day's hunt. His red coat, hunter's cap, and the whip in his hand, all add to the authenticity of the scene. The crowd gathered around him, dressed in their Sunday best, reflects the excitement and anticipation of the day's events. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the historical context of the era, with the well-dressed townsfolk, horse-drawn carriages, and the architecture of the buildings. The intricate details of the scene, from the cobblestone street to the shop signs, provide a rich tapestry of Victorian life. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Mr. Jorrocks and the era in which he lived. It serves as a reminder of a time when the hunt was a cherished pastime and the simple pleasures of country life held great significance. The photograph, published in a book, continues to capture the imagination of viewers and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Handley Cross and the Victorian era.
