EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "One of the Merry Monarchs Occupations, 1897" captures a whimsical moment from history. Created by John Leech as part of "The Comic History of England" this caricature depicts King Charles II of England in a lighthearted scene. In the image, the king can be seen feeding geese while being attended to by his loyal spaniels. Dressed in regal attire with a hat adorned with feathers, King Charles II appears both elegant and approachable. His happy demeanor is evident as he engages in this simple pastime amidst the English countryside. The geese eagerly gather around him, enjoying their royal treat. John Leech's satirical illustrations add an element of humor to this portrayal of royalty. Through his artistic style and attention to detail, he brings out the playful side of King Charles II's character. This image serves as a reminder that even monarchs have moments of leisure and joy. Dating back to the 17th century but captured here in stunning black and white during the 19th century, this print offers us a glimpse into both historical periods. It showcases not only British culture but also highlights Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's witty storytelling combined with John Leech's artistic talent. This piece exemplifies how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate centuries-old satire while still finding amusement within its pages today.
