EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous illustration, titled "The Man Who Crept Into The Royal Enclosure In A Bowler," is a brilliant reflection of the social norms and faux-pas of the late 19th century. The ground of this historical image, published in 1887, depicts a man in an incorrect dress, daringly entering the Royal Enclosure wearing a bowler hat. The lot is filled with disapproving glances from the well-dressed attendees, who no doubt see the man as an unwelcome intruder. The artist, Montague Priestley Bateman (1887-1970), was a popular figure in the world of British illustration, regularly contributing his work to esteemed publications such as The Sketch, The Tatler, and The Bystander. Bateman's efficient and bold style was groundbreaking for its time, and his work continues to be a fascinating import for those studying the history of social customs and etiquette.

The man in the illustration, with his bowler hat and incorrect attire, is a stark contrast to the elegantly dressed attendees around him.

Despite the man's misstep, Bateman's illustration remains a brilliant reflection of the period. His work continues to be a valuable import for those studying the history of social customs and etiquette, and a reminder of the importance of fitting in with the crowd. The efficient and bold style of Bateman's illustration was a groundbreaking departure from the norms of the time, and his work remains a fascinating window into the past.
