This particular work is part of a broader collection of illustrations that Leech created for the serialized stories of "Handley Cross," written by Robert Smith Surtees. Surtees's stories, which revolve around the adventures of the comical and rotund sporting grocer, Mr. Jorrocks, were immensely popular in the 19th century and remain cherished for their humor and vivid depiction of rural English life.

The artwork is characterized by Leech's distinctive style, which combines fine detail with exaggerated features to enhance the comedic effect. His ability to convey movement and expression adds a dynamic quality to the scene, making it not just an illustration but a visual narrative that complements Surtees's text.

The collaboration between Surtees and Leech is often highlighted as a perfect synergy between writer and illustrator, with Leech's drawings providing a visual counterpart to Surtees's witty prose. Leech's contributions were instrumental in popularizing Surtees's works, and his illustrations continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and historical significance.
