EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from 1845, we witness the misadventures of Mr Jorrocks, a character brought to life by R. S. Surtees in his novel Handley Cross. The scene unfolds as Mr Jorrocks, having indulged in excessive alcohol and retired early, finds himself sleepwalking through a series of tumultuous dreams. In a bizarre twist of fate, he stumbles upon Lord Bambers' swimming pool and plummets into its depths. As panic ensues among the other house guests who witness this somnambulist spectacle, they quickly rally together to rescue poor Mr Jorrocks from his watery predicament. John Leech's skilled hand brings this comical moment to life with vibrant colors and intricate engravings that capture both the chaos and humor of the situation. This whimsical image not only highlights the English literature of its time but also serves as a reminder of the dangers lurking within our own vices. It reminds us that even in our most vulnerable states - be it through intoxication or unconscious wandering - there are always those around us willing to lend a helping hand. So let us marvel at this timeless piece that intertwines comedy with cautionary tales while appreciating Leech's artistic prowess in bringing Surtees' characters vividly to life on paper.
