EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century print captures the essence of courtship in a bygone era. Set in an inn's cozy restaurant, we witness an English gentleman ardently wooing a young lady. The woman, dressed elegantly in a black crinoline gown adorned with a garland of flowers in her hair, exudes grace and beauty. The interior of the inn reflects the bustling atmosphere of a stage coach road, as travelers come and go. Amidst this lively scene, our hero Billy Pringle Sr. , ever chivalrous, assists Miss Willing in retrieving her dropped ring from under the table. Their interaction hints at an infatuation blossoming into something more profound. Handcolored to perfection, this steel engraving is brought to life by John Leech's skilled illustration. Known for his caricatures and comical depictions during the Victorian era, Leech captures both humor and romance within this artwork. Taken from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Ask Mamma or the Richest Commoner in England" this image offers us a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors. It transports us back to a time when courtship was filled with charm and sophistication. With its rich historical context and artistic flair, this print serves as a delightful reminder of love's timeless allure. Whether displayed on your wall or admired within your personal collection, it will surely captivate all who lay their eyes upon it.
