The Long Lost Sun, 1860
Britannia stands along Englands coastline and welcomes the sun, with a disgarded umbrella at her side. The sun smiles back at her. Two of the suns rays are hands, and the sun is reaching out to join hands with Britannia. After a very wet spring and summer, the sun returns. In time to save the essential corn crop, as well as the more luxurious strawberries. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 14, 1860

The Long Lost Sun, 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a whimsical moment in history when Britannia, the allegorical figure representing Britain, stands proudly along England's coastline. In this enchanting print, Britannia welcomes back the sun after a prolonged period of rain and gloom. A discarded umbrella lies at her side as a symbol of the recent wet spring and summer. As the sun smiles warmly upon Britannia, two of its rays take on the form of hands reaching out to join hers. This joyful gesture signifies not only the return of sunshine but also an embrace between nature and country. The timely reappearance of sunlight brings hope for salvation to both essential crops like corn and more indulgent delights such as strawberries. This engraving from Punch magazine transports us back to July 14th, 1860—a time when agriculture heavily relied on favorable weather conditions for survival. The image beautifully combines elements of science and mythology with its depiction of celestial bodies within our solar system. Rendered in monochrome black and white, this nineteenth-century heritage image showcases intricate details that evoke nostalgia for a bygone era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, there is always room for optimism and renewal—just like how the long-lost sun returned to brighten Britannia's shores once again.
