EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century print, we are transported to the picturesque countryside where an English gentleman with distinguished whiskers is on his way to a delightful picnic. Dressed in a tam o shanter cap and riding a majestic horse, he exudes an air of elegance and adventure. As our gentleman makes his way through the scenic landscape, we catch a glimpse of a carriage filled with ladies following closely behind him. Their presence adds an element of refinement to the scene, contrasting beautifully with the humble peasant in smock attire who stands in the foreground. The print captures a moment of leisure and enjoyment as Mr. John Bunting embarks on his journey towards the much-anticipated Pic-nic. Handcoloured by skilled artisans, every detail comes alive - from the vibrant colors that breathe life into nature's beauty to the intricate lines that define each character. Created by renowned caricaturist and illustrator John Leech for Robert Smith Surtees' book "Plain or Ringlets?", this artwork showcases Leech's talent for capturing comical moments within Victorian society. It reflects both humor and nostalgia for simpler times when picnics were treasured pastimes during weekends spent in nature's embrace. This delightful image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine ourselves joining Mr. Bunting on his idyllic journey through rolling hills and lush meadows towards an unforgettable picnic experience.
