"Mr. Jorrocks's Surprize on Seeing the Paris Diligence, 'My Vig, Here's Wombwell's Wildbeast show'" is a painting by the renowned English artist Henry Thomas Alken, known for his vivid depictions of sporting and humorous scenes. Alken, active during the early 19th century, often captured the lively and sometimes chaotic aspects of English social life, particularly focusing on equestrian themes.

This particular work features the fictional character Mr. Jorrocks, a creation of author R. S. Surtees, who is known for his humorous adventures and misadventures. In the painting, Mr. Jorrocks is depicted expressing surprise upon encountering the Paris Diligence, a type of stagecoach used for long-distance travel in France. The exclamation "My Vig, Here's Wombwell's Wildbeast show" suggests a humorous comparison between the bustling scene and the famous traveling menagerie of George Wombwell, known for exhibiting exotic animals across Britain.

Alken's style is characterized by dynamic compositions and a keen eye for detail, which is evident in this work. The painting captures the essence of early 19th-century travel and entertainment, blending humor with a touch of social commentary. The vibrant colors and animated figures reflect Alken's ability to bring scenes to life, engaging viewers with both the narrative and the artistry.

While specific details about the painting's creation date and current location may not be widely documented, it remains an example of Alken's contribution to the genre of sporting and humorous art.
