EDITORS COMMENTS
The coloured engraving titled "Who am I! I'm the Mistress of this ere ouse - and this is the young Squire" captures a scene from the 19th-century British literature classic, Mr Facey Romfords Hounds. Illustrated by John Leech and Hablot K Browne, also known as "Phiz" this print showcases an intimidating yet captivating woman in Victorian dress holding a shotgun. Standing beside her is a young boy, presumably the Squire mentioned in the title. The image exudes power and authority as the Mistress asserts her dominance over her household. Her forbidding presence suggests that she commands respect and obedience from those around her. The young Squire stands next to her, perhaps in awe or admiration for his formidable guardian. This artwork not only reflects elements of English literature but also provides insight into Victorian hunting culture. The combination of strong characters, traditional clothing, and weaponry creates a visually striking composition that transports viewers back to a different era. As we delve into this historical piece, it reminds us of how literature can shape our understanding of past societies while showcasing artistic talent through engravings like these. This particular print serves as both an intriguing glimpse into British history and an exquisite example of fine art craftsmanship.
