EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Invasion, 1865" takes us back to the 19th century with its rich historical context. Created by the talented artist Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz, this artwork is derived from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds". The image portrays a chaotic scene set indoors, where an untidy and messy table becomes the center of attention. Amidst the cluttered furniture and scattered literature lies a group of men engrossed in their activities. Their animated expressions depict a sense of greediness and disrespect for orderliness. This caricature-like portrayal captures the essence of noisy intrusion into someone's personal space. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that Browne skillfully captured not only physical details but also intangible concepts such as human behavior and societal norms prevalent during that era. The etching technique employed adds depth to each character's portrait while emphasizing their individuality. "The Invasion" serves as a reminder of how fictional characters can transcend time through artistry. It invites viewers to explore Surtees' narrative world while appreciating Browne's artistic prowess in bringing these characters to life on paper. This remarkable piece preserved by The Print Collector offers us an intriguing glimpse into 19th-century literature and visual culture, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to historical arts.
