EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical print, titled "Fasces" and created in 1852 by artist John Leech, is a humorous depiction of ancient Rome. Taken from the book "The Comic History of Rome" by Gilbert A. A Beckett, this illustration showcases Leech's talent for satire and caricature. In the image, we see a Roman citizen dressed in traditional clothing with a hat that proudly displays the Italian flag. The man's face is full of expression as he holds up a fasces, symbolizing power and authority in ancient Rome. However, instead of projecting strength and seriousness like one would expect from such an emblematic object, this portrayal takes on a more amusing tone. Leech's clever use of exaggeration adds to the comedic effect as he pokes fun at the grandeur associated with Roman republicanism. The monochrome engraving captures every detail with precision while maintaining its lightheartedness. This print serves as both entertainment and historical commentary, offering viewers an amusing glimpse into ancient Roman culture through Leech's unique lens. It reminds us that even serious subjects can be approached with humor and wit without losing their significance or impact. As part of The Print Collector collection curated by Heritage Images, this artwork continues to delight audiences today with its playful take on history.
