EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment from 1897, depicting the rescue of King James I of England from the New River. Created by John Leech as part of "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, this satirical illustration offers a humorous take on an important event in British history. In 1604, King James I granted a charter for the construction of the New River, an artificial waterway that supplied fresh drinking water to London. The image showcases Sir Hugh Middleton rescuing King James I from this very river. Middleton was instrumental in designing and building this vital water source for the city. With its caricature-like style, this artwork reflects both the wit and creativity prevalent during the 19th century. It portrays King James I as a prominent figure being rescued with a boat hook while surrounded by other men in traditional attire. This scene not only highlights an intriguing historical event but also serves as a reminder of Britain's innovative engineering achievements during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic qualities and its connection to English geography and culture. Overall, this print provides us with an amusing glimpse into history through satire and artistry—a unique combination that makes it truly remarkable.
