EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Travellers seeing the Lions" captures a humorous moment in time. Created by an English School artist, this illustration was originally featured in The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1836. In this scene, a group of travellers, possibly gypsies or nomads, stumble upon a surprising sight - two majestic lions. The engraver skillfully portrays their astonishment and amusement as they witness these wild animals up close. The sense of humor is evident in their expressions and gestures. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the beauty and power of these big cats. Their regal presence contrasts with the lightheartedness of the scene, creating an intriguing juxtaposition between comedy and nature's magnificence. The use of black and white adds depth to this artwork, emphasizing both light and shadow. It also enhances the timeless quality that defines many works from this era. "Travellers seeing the Lions" serves as a reminder that even unexpected encounters can bring joy into our lives. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images for art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
