EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1900, titled "Drunken English gentleman rides a bear into a drawing room" by Henry Thomas Alken, transports us to a scene of utter chaos and amusement. In this comical depiction, an inebriated English gentleman boldly mounts a bear and gallops into the elegant confines of a drawing room. The shocked guests scramble onto furniture in fear as they try to escape the unexpected intruder. The lithograph captures the disorderly nature of this hilarious moment perfectly. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness the panic on each person's face as they desperately seek refuge from the unruly duo. Amidst all the commotion, we can almost hear their cries of "Tally ho! Tally ho!" echoing through the room. Alken's work is based on an illustration by Charles James Apperley from his book Memoirs of the Life of Late John Mytton. This whimsical print offers a glimpse into high society during England's early twentieth century, where even nobility could find themselves caught up in absurd situations. With its vibrant colors and lively composition, this chromolithographic facsimile brings to life both the fear and excitement that fill this unforgettable moment. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is within moments of disorder that true hilarity unfolds. This remarkable piece showcases Alken's talent for capturing human emotions with wit and charm while providing us with an amusing snapshot of British culture at that time.
