EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for Little Mr Bouncer and His Friend Verdant Green" takes us back to a whimsical era filled with laughter and mischief. Created by the talented artist Cuthbert Bradley in 1861, this artwork showcases a comical scene from Cuthbert Bede's book of the same name. In this amusing illustration, we find ourselves amidst a group of mischievous undergraduates at Oxford University. Little Mr Bouncer and his friend Verdant Green are caught in an uproarious situation involving overcharging fees. As they engage in their legal studies, they humorously attempt to pluck money from unsuspecting geese while an owl watches on with amusement. The intricate details of this print bring the narrative to life, capturing the essence of both financial struggles and youthful exuberance. The exaggerated expressions on each character's face perfectly convey their playful nature as they navigate through the complexities of student life. Bradley's masterful engraving technique shines through in every stroke, showcasing his skillful craftsmanship. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the artwork's original charm without any distractions. As we gaze upon this delightful piece, it serves as a reminder that even within serious professions like law or finance, there is always room for lightheartedness and laughter. It transports us back to a time when innocence mingled with wit and reminds us that sometimes it is okay to take things less seriously – especially when plucking geese for money!
