EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical engraving titled "There was a young Fellow of Ryde" we are transported back to the 19th century, where humor and satire were prevalent in literature. This print is an illustration for the book "Less Eminent Victorians" by R. D. , published around 1927. The scene depicts a young man sitting with a book in hand, engrossed in reading. His expression suggests amusement as he delves into the pages filled with wit and laughter. The artist captures his youthful energy and mischievousness perfectly. The image hints at the subject matter of the book - marriage and societal norms during Victorian times. It seems that our protagonist has stumbled upon some amusing anecdotes about weddings, perhaps even scandalous ones! As he reads on, his shock turns into amusement, proving that even in those prim and proper days, there was room for humor. This satirical piece playfully mocks good breeding and traditional wedding ceremonies while shedding light on the absurdities of societal expectations surrounding marriage. It reminds us that beneath all formalities lies human nature's innate desire to find joy in life's peculiar moments. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciate clever humor, this print will surely bring a smile to your face as it transports you back to an era where laughter proved shocking yet undeniably funny.
