What a Treat!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Delightful Georgian Moment of Humor by Henry Heath (1829) Step back in time to the charming and whimsical world of 19th-century England, as depicted in this cartoon by renowned British artist Henry Heath. In "What a Treat!" (1829), Heath masterfully captures the essence of everyday life, humor, and human interaction in this delightful scene from the 1820s. The cartoon centers around a thin, mustachioed shopkeeper, who stands behind a counter laden with an array of treats and delicacies. His expression is one of disbelief and exasperation as a portly customer, accompanied by a slender assistant, reaches over the counter to grab an apple. The shopkeeper's arms are outstretched in a futile attempt to prevent the customer from taking the fruit, while his assistant looks on in amusement. The shop's interior is filled with a variety of intriguing items, from pies and pastries to jars of pickles and bottles of wine. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with other customers milling about and engaging in animated conversation. Heath's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life in a way that is both humorous and endearing. The cartoon's intricate details, from the shopkeeper's striped apron to the customer's plaid trousers, transport us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and simple pleasures like a fresh apple were cause for delight. "What a Treat!" is a testament to Henry Heath's skill as a cartoonist and his ability to capture the spirit of the Georgian era. This charming and humorous print is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the history and culture of 19th-century England.
