EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored steel engraving, we witness a moment of elegance and tradition as Facey Romford, a distinguished English huntsman, hands his candle to a footman at the bottom of a grand staircase. The scene, taken from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds," is beautifully illustrated by the renowned caricaturist and illustrator, John Leech. Romford, dressed in the formal attire of a huntsman, wears boots and a heavy coat, his face adorned with the rosy glow of candlelight. He presents the candle to the footman, who stands attentively at the ready, dressed in formal livery. The footman's expression is one of deference and respect, as he receives the candle with a gloved hand. Behind Romford, we see the silhouette of a woman in a yellow crinoline dress, Lucy Somersville, following closely behind. The candlelight illuminates her pretty features and the intricate details of her petticoats and apron. The atmosphere is one of anticipation and excitement, as the group prepares to embark on a night of hunting. The engraving captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its attention to detail and intricate design. The blood sports and hunting scenes were popular themes during this time, and Leech's illustrations were known for their comical and humorous take on these traditions. The image of Romford handing off his candle to the footman is a testament to the hierarchy and tradition of the era, as well as the importance of the footman in maintaining the smooth running of a grand household. This beautiful hand-colored steel engraving is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the English gentry and their love of hunting and tradition. It is a stunning piece of art that captures the essence of the Victorian era and the role of footmen in the grand households of the time.
