EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating coloured engraving, titled "Illustration for Hillingdon Hall or The Cockney Squire" takes us back to 19th century England. The scene depicts a lively argument between two contrasting characters: Mr Jorrocks and Hercules Strong. As the author of Handley Cross brings this tale of country life to life, we are treated to twelve illustrations by Wildrake, Heath, and Jellicoe. The image captures the essence of rivalry and opposition as Mr Jorrocks confronts Hercules Strong. With its rich colours and intricate details, the print transports us into a world where mythological figures like Hercules coexist with everyday individuals in English society. The inclusion of Hercules adds an intriguing layer to this illustration, blending mythology with reality. It invites us to ponder the influence of ancient myths on contemporary culture while highlighting the clash between paganism and religion during that era. Through skilled engraving techniques, this artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into history.
