EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of adventure and excitement as Mr. Jorrocks embarks on his journey through The Cut Me Down Countries in 1854. Created by the talented artist John Leech, this artwork is a scene from the book "Handley Cross; or, Mr. Jorrockss Hunt" written by Robert Smith Surtees. Set against a picturesque outdoor backdrop, we see Mr. Jorrocks confidently riding his horse along a bustling road filled with people going about their day. His presence commands attention as he stands out in his vibrant jacket amidst the sea of colorful clothing worn by those around him. Accompanied by a group of children who are equally captivated by this larger-than-life character, Mr. Jorrocks exudes an air of authority and charm that draws us into his world. Despite being slightly overweight, he effortlessly balances on horseback, showcasing both skill and determination. This 19th-century etching beautifully combines elements of caricature and portraiture to bring to life a fictional character loved by many during that era. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and art to transport us to different times and places. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images' collection, we can't help but be inspired by Mr. Jorrocks' spirit of adventure and zest for life that continues to resonate with audiences today.
