There Is No Deception - drawn by Leech, 1850. Creator: Unknown
There Is No Deception - drawn by Leech, 1850. Illustration to "Christmas Interiors", an article by the Old Batchelor. I heard a terrific burst, half terror, half laughter, with cries, and rushings to and fro, and gigglings and shouts. Opening the door - Oh these children! what miracle will not their happy presence work on the sourest, and most rational and atrabilious of us old folks !- if there was not grave and iconoclastic Mr. Twinge, Q.C. with all his weight of law, and fifty-six years on his head, performing the "Giant, " draped in Mr. Eyebright's dressing-gown, surmounted by a wonderful extempore mask, held in his uplifted hands. Yes, there was the severe Twinge...exhibited by funny Mr. Edkins as "the Californian Giant, and no deception, ladies"...knocking his hat against the chandelier, and breaking his shins over the furniture, and becoming enamoured of the young ladies, and delighting the bold children, and terrifying the timid ones into fits'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "There Is No Deception," was drawn by the renowned English caricaturist John Leech in 1850 for an article in the Illustrated London News, titled "Christmas Interiors." The article, penned by the Old Batchelor, recounts a humorous scene of holiday merriment and the transformative power of children's presence. The image portrays a room filled with delight and chaos as the stern and serious Grave and iconoclastic Mr. Twinge, Q.C., played by Mr. Edkins, is unveiled as the Californian Giant. Draped in Mr. Eyebright's dressing-gown and wearing a fantastic mask, Twinge delights the children with his antics, knocking his hat against the chandelier and causing mischief. His serious demeanor and fifty-six years are forgotten as he embraces the holiday spirit. The room is filled with a mix of reactions, from the bold children's laughter and excitement to the timid ones' fear and fits. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of the article, which celebrates the joy and wonder that the holiday season brings, even to the most stoic and serious among us. The identity of the unknown illustrator remains a mystery, but their work, alongside Leech's masterful drawing, adds to the rich tapestry of Christmas traditions and memories.
