EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricature of Gnaeus Julius Agricola, a prominent Roman general who played a significant role in the conquest of Britain during ancient times. Created by the talented artist John Leech around 1860, this silhouette portrait offers a comical and satirical depiction of Agricola. The artwork is part of "The Comic History of England". Volume I, authored by Gilbert A. A. Beckett. In this side view silhouette, we see Agricola's profile outlined against a monochrome background. His distinctive features are exaggerated with humor and wit, capturing the essence of his character as an English historical figure from Rome's era. This engraving transports us back to the 19th century when such artistic representations were highly valued for their ability to entertain and educate. Through this print, we can appreciate both the artistic talent of John Leech and the historical significance of Gnaeus Julius Agricola's accomplishments as consul and governor of Britannia during his time in power. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with literature and history, allowing us to explore different concepts through visual storytelling. As we admire this black-and-white masterpiece today, it reminds us not only of our shared past but also how humor can be used to shed light on important figures from history while providing entertainment for generations to come.
