EDITORS COMMENTS
Hyde Park as it will be (coloured engraving) captures the whimsical imagination of John Leech, showcasing a satirical view of progress and mechanization in 19th century England. This amusing print, part of the Follies of the Year series, published between 1844 and 1864, offers a scathing satire on the impact of industrialization on London's green spaces. In this comical scene, Hyde Park is transformed into a chaotic landscape filled with absurdities brought about by new modes of transportation. Trains traverse through what was once serene parkland, causing destruction and pollution while soldiers march alongside them. The cartoonish depiction highlights both the folly and humor in such rapid changes to the environment. Leech's self-mockery extends to royalty as well, with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert depicted amidst this chaos. Their presence adds an extra layer of irony to the scene as they are shown witnessing firsthand how their own pursuit of progress has spoiled their beloved park. This satirical drawing not only pokes fun at Victorian society's obsession with industrial advancement but also serves as a commentary on wider European culture. With references to Germany and its influence on England's industrial revolution, Leech presents a satirical cartoon that transcends national boundaries. Through his clever use of caricature and wit, Leech invites viewers to reflect upon the consequences of unchecked development while providing entertainment through his humorous portrayal.
