EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and comical 19th-century print titled "Mr Jorrockss Bath, 1845" we are transported to a lively Victorian party filled with laughter and unexpected misfortune. The scene captures the moment when Mr Jorrocks, in a state of drunken slumber, embarks on an eventful sleepwalking adventure. As the guests revel in merriment around him, Mr Jorrocks finds himself caught in the clutches of a violent dream. Unbeknownst to him, his nocturnal wanderings lead him straight into Lord Bamber's swimming pool. With surprise etched across their faces, fellow partygoers rush to his aid as he flails about in the water. This delightful cartoon-style illustration is taken from Handley Cross by RS Surtees and showcases the artist's keen eye for capturing both physical comedy and human expression. The vivid colors bring life to each character present at this unforgettable incident. Through this artwork, we glimpse into a bygone era where social gatherings were filled with joyous camaraderie and unforeseen mishaps added an element of excitement. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of literature from the nineteenth century that continues to captivate audiences today. This print offers us not only a humorous snapshot but also invites contemplation on themes such as friendship, resilience, and embracing life's unexpected twists with laughter.
