EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mr. Sponge arrives at Sir Arry's, 1865" takes us back to a bygone era of British countryside charm. The artwork, created by renowned artists John Leech and Hablot Knight Browne, beautifully captures the essence of rural life in the 19th century. In this scene set outdoors, a group of men and boys gather around as Mr. Sponge makes his grand entrance. Dressed in a dashing red jacket and top hat, he exudes an air of sophistication amidst the rustic surroundings. Horses stand nearby, their majestic presence adding to the sense of excitement. The illustration is taken from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds" which was published in London by Bradbury, Evans & Co. in 1865. This literary masterpiece comes alive through Leech and Browne's intricate engravings that perfectly capture the spirit of Surtees' words. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where hunting parties were not only about sport but also served as social gatherings for the community. The attention to detail is remarkable - from each character's clothing to their expressions filled with anticipation or engaged in lively conversation. This print is not just an artistic representation; it serves as a window into history itself – showcasing both the talent of these celebrated artists and providing insight into life during that time period. A true treasure for any lover of art or literature seeking to
