Description
1865 1ed Humor LEECH & PHIZ Hand-Colored Illustrations Mr Facey Romfords Hounds
“Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds” by Robert Smith Surtees is a delightful 19th-century British novel that humorously charts the exploits of the vibrant, quirky, and somewhat unscrupulous protagonist, Facey Romford. An ardent fox hunter, Romfords escapades in hunting and high society are at the heart of this satirical tale, which offers an amusing critique of Victorian society and its norms.
What notably enhances the reading experience is the collection of wonderful illustrations crafted by two renowned artists of their era, John Leech and Hablot Knight Browne. Their contribution to the book includes numerous wood-cut engravings along with 24 vibrant, hand-colored steel engravings that humorously portray the myriad of hunting scenes, characters, and social events. Leech, celebrated for his contributions to Punch, and Browne, popularly known as “Phiz” for his work in Charles Dickens novels, significantly add to the charm and humor of the story through their unique illustrative styles.
