"Caught!", 1860. Stolen kisses! stolen kisses!
O what precious spoil they are! Whether cheek of sleeping miss is Walnut-brown or lily-fair. But, though dear the sweet possession, They are but a tasteless sham (Dare I make the bold confession ?) To a pot of stolen jam. Stolen meetings! stolen meetings! When our joy's half made of fear, Worth an age of formal greetings - Thou, the loved one, only near. Yet time was, my Eleanora, When we met by stealth, and made Happiness from plumcake, or a Pot of orange marmalade. Stolen kisses when rejected Ofttimes lead to wordy strife! Stolen meetings when detected Ofttimes chill a maiden's life! So, when housekeeping duenna "Caught" us foraging for "cram, " Eleanora, salts and senna Were our substitutes for jam! Illustration to a poem or song, published in "Illustrated London News", 1860

Caught!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- an enchanting 19th century engraving that captures the essence of childhood mischief and the thrill of a stolen moment. The image, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1860, depicts two young boys, one with a surprised expression as he is "caught in the act" by a stern-looking woman, likely a housekeeper or mother. The boys appear to have been rummaging through a larder or pantry, their hands full of jars and spoons, as they attempt to enjoy a midnight feast of jam or jelly. The accompanying poem, titled "Stolen Kisses! Stolen Kisses!", adds a layer of sentimentality to the scene, as it explores the idea of stolen moments and the joy they bring, even when tinged with fear or the risk of detection. The verses speak of the value of stolen kisses and meetings, comparing them to the sweet taste of jam, and reminiscing about simpler times when such moments brought happiness from simple pleasures. The engraving showcases the intricacies of Victorian-era furniture and household items, from the ornate cutlery to the detailed cupboard or jar designs. The contrast between the boys' mischievous grins and the woman's disapproving gaze adds a humorous element to the illustration, making it a delightful glimpse into the past. Overall, "Caught!" is a charming reminder of the simple joys and moments of mischief that come with childhood, and the enduring appeal of a good midnight feast.
