Painting Description
"Mr Jorrocks 'come Hup! I Say" is an illustration by the renowned British artist and caricaturist John Leech. Leech, who lived from 1817 to 1864, is best known for his work in the Victorian era, particularly his contributions to the famous satirical magazine Punch. His illustrations often provided a humorous and insightful commentary on the social and political issues of his time.
The character of Mr. Jorrocks, depicted in this illustration, originates from the works of Robert Smith Surtees, a 19th-century English novelist known for his humorous and satirical portrayals of rural and sporting life. Mr. Jorrocks, a comical and boisterous fox-hunting grocer, became one of Surtees' most beloved characters, appearing in several of his novels, including "Handley Cross" and "Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour."
Leech's illustration captures the essence of Mr. Jorrocks with his characteristic energy and enthusiasm. The phrase "come Hup! I Say" is emblematic of the character's spirited and somewhat bumbling nature, often finding himself in humorous predicaments. Leech's artistic style, marked by its sharp lines and keen attention to detail, brings Mr. Jorrocks to life, making the illustration a vivid representation of Surtees' literary creation.
The collaboration between Surtees' writing and Leech's illustrations was highly successful, contributing significantly to the popularity of both the character and the novels. Leech's ability to translate the humor and vitality of Surtees' text into visual form played a crucial role in the enduring appeal of Mr. Jorrocks.
"Mr Jorrocks 'come Hup! I Say" stands as a testament to John Leech's talent as an illustrator and his contribution to the world of Victorian literature and art. Through his work, Leech not only entertained his contemporaries but also provided future generations with a window into the social and cultural fabric of 19th-century England.
