EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 19th century, showcasing English tourists promenading in the picturesque Tuileries Garden in Paris. The image is filled with delightful details that transport us back to a bygone era. French cuirassiers and ladies adorned in crinolines stroll gracefully through the gardens, enjoying the serene atmosphere. However, amidst this elegant setting, an unexpected encounter takes place. Mr. Stubbs from Yorkshire engages in snobbish banter with John Jorrocks, a Cockney grocer who finds himself insulted by Mr. Stubbs' remarks. In response to the affront, Mr. Jorrocks defiantly reaches for his sword while renouncing any further acquaintance with his Yorkshire counterpart. The handcoloured steel engraving beautifully brings to life this moment of honor and humor depicted in Robert Smith Surtees' "Jorrocks Jaunts and Jollities". Illustrated by Henry Thomas Alken and published by Rudolph Ackermann in London during the Victorian era, this artwork showcases both caricature and satire. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported not only to a different time but also reminded of human interactions that transcend centuries - moments of pride, jests among friends or strangers alike - all set against the backdrop of one of Paris's most iconic parks: the enchanting Tuileries Garden.
