EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the Victorian era and offers a glimpse into the world of Mr. Jorrocks, a beloved character created by English author, Jerrold Malcolm Mundy Surtees. The image, titled "Mr. Jorrocks Delivers His Lecture on Unting," depicts the jovial and eccentric Mr. Jorrocks in the midst of delivering a lecture to an enthralled audience. Mr. Jorrocks, a central figure in Surtees' humorous series of stories and novels, first appeared in print in 1837, with the publication of "Jorrocks' Jaunts and Jumps." The character, known for his distinctive Cockney accent and love of hunting, quickly became a cultural sensation, inspiring numerous adaptations and imitations. In this photograph, Mr. Jorrocks can be seen standing confidently atop a wooden platform, his arms outstretched as he engages the rapt attention of his audience. The crowd, composed of both men and women, is fully absorbed in his every word, their expressions conveying a mix of amusement, fascination, and admiration. The setting of the photograph is reminiscent of the many public lectures and entertainments that were popular during the Victorian era. These events provided an opportunity for individuals to gather and engage with one another, as well as to learn about a wide range of topics. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of Mr. Jorrocks and the impact that his stories had on Victorian society. The image invites us to imagine the laughter and camaraderie that filled the room as Mr. Jorrocks regaled his audience with tales of hunting, mischief, and adventure. This photograph print, with its rich historical context and captivating subject matter, is a must-have for any collector of Victorian literature, history, or popular culture.
