EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph titled "Mrs Grub The Gardeners Wife" is a delightful snapshot of 19th-century humor and charm. Created by an English School artist, this print captures the essence of a card game called Cheery Families, published by Thomas De La Rue. The image showcases Mrs Grub, the wife of a gardener, in her element amidst an orchard. With her skirt gathered up to reveal sturdy boots, she playfully picks fruits with a mischievous grin on her face. This amusing caricature brings together elements of trade and professions in Victorian society with a touch of lightheartedness. The attention to detail in this litho highlights the skillful execution of humorous cartoons during that era. Each character is depicted with exaggerated features and expressions that add to the overall amusement factor. The botanical setting further emphasizes Mrs Grub's connection to nature and botany while also hinting at natural history and science. This print not only serves as an entertaining piece but also offers insight into leisure activities popular during the late 19th century. It invites viewers to imagine themselves as players in this playful game filled with laughter and camaraderie. Bridgeman Images has preserved this gem from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate the wit and creativity embedded within Victorian parlour games like Cheery Families.
