Dr. Syntax and the Unpleasant Surprise - A 19th Century Beekeeping Tour with the Incomparable Dr. Syntax and His Bees
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of history, we find ourselves in the company of the renowned literary character, Dr. Syntax, as he embarks on his 2nd Tour, accompanied by an unexpected entourage of bees. The year is 1820, and our intrepid protagonist, dressed in his finest attire and brandishing a parasol, appears both delighted and surprised by the swarm that has taken up residence on his hat and umbrella. Dr. Syntax, a creation of the English poet and satirist, William Combe, first appeared in print in 1792. Known for his love of the countryside and his penchant for shouting, Dr. Syntax was a popular figure in the literary world of his time. In this scene, he is depicted on a tour, likely sharing his knowledge of the natural world with his unsuspecting companions. The presence of the bees adds an intriguing layer to this historical moment. Bees were an essential part of 19th-century life, providing honey and essential pollination services. Dr. Syntax's ability to attract such a large swarm suggests his expertise in beekeeping, a skill highly valued during this period. Despite the apparent unpleasantness of the situation for his human companions, Dr. Syntax seems unfazed by the bees, perhaps even relishing the unexpected turn of events. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of bees in history, the role of literature in shaping popular culture, and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors. This print, a testament to the richness of history, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on literature, natural history, or the Victorian era. Its unique blend of humor, history, and the natural world makes it a fascinating and intriguing piece.
