EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful coloured engraving, titled "Billy is introduced to the Mayors Harriers" we are transported back to the 19th century and witness a humorous encounter between Billy and a pack of hounds. The scene captures the essence of Victorian amusement as it depicts an amusing moment in which Billy, presumably a commoner, is being formally introduced to the prestigious Mayor's Harriers. The artist, John Leech, known for his wit and satirical illustrations, masterfully brings this comical scenario to life. We see Billy standing nervously amidst a group of well-groomed dogs in their kennels while the mayor looks on with amusement. The exaggerated expressions on both human and canine faces add an extra layer of hilarity to the image. This print was created as an illustration for Ask Mamma or The Richest Commoner in England, published by Bradbury Agnew around 1890. It perfectly encapsulates the lighthearted tone of that era's literature. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this engraving offers us not only a glimpse into Victorian humor but also serves as a testament to Leech's artistic talent. Whether you're a fan of hunting scenes or simply enjoy whimsical art from yesteryears, "Billy is introduced to the Mayors Harriers" will surely bring joy and laughter into your home or collection.
