EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Thats Him - The Jackdaw" is a print from the renowned collection of The Ingoldsby Legends by Thomas Ingoldsby. Published in 1887 by Richard Bentley & Son, this artwork showcases the exceptional talent of John Leech (1817-64), an esteemed English illustrator. The image depicts a bedraggled jackdaw perched on the shoulder of a monk within an ancient abbey. With its feathers ruffled and eyes gleaming mischievously, the bird exudes both curiosity and playfulness. This Victorian-era illustration transports us to a time when legends and stories were cherished forms of entertainment. Thomas Ingoldsby, also known as Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845), authored The Ingoldsby Legends between 1840 and 1843. These tales became immensely popular for their blend of humor, horror, and folklore elements that captivated readers across generations. Through Leech's skilled hand, we witness his ability to bring these legendary characters to life with intricate details and masterful shading techniques. This particular scene captures the essence of one such tale within The Ingoldsby Legends. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power that illustrations hold in conveying stories from generation to generation. It serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of John Leech and the literary genius of Thomas Ingoldsby – forever preserved in this remarkable lithograph.
