EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th century cartoon, titled "Cartoon, Customs & Manners of ye Englyshire People - Sea Bathing," by the renowned English artist Richard Doyle, offers a humorous and archaic depiction of the popular Victorian pastime of sea bathing. The image captures a lively scene at a seaside resort, where people of all ages and social classes have gathered to enjoy the summer holiday. Doyle's use of medieval-inspired language in the title adds to the whimsical and nostalgic feel of the illustration. In the foreground, a group of women, dressed in their finest Victorian attire, including bonnets and parasols, cautiously enter the sea, while their children play in the sand nearby. A man in a top hat and tailcoat, wearing a determined expression, wades in up to his waist, while another man, dressed in a bathing suit, dives into the waves with abandon. The background of the cartoon is filled with quirky details that add to the humor of the scene. A row of colorful huts, reminiscent of medieval tents, line the shore, and a group of men in the distance are shown playing a game of cricket on the beach. The use of archaic language in the title, such as "Englyshire People" and "ye," further emphasizes the nostalgic and timeless quality of the illustration. Overall, this delightful cartoon provides a fascinating glimpse into the customs and manners of the English people during the Victorian era, capturing the spirit of summer holidays and the joy of sea bathing in a way that is both humorous and endearing.
