EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous engraving titled "There was an old Person of Jena" we are transported back to the Victorian era, where wit and satire reigned supreme. The image captures a scene filled with amusement as an elderly gentleman, known as the "Person of Jena" finds himself in a comical predicament. The artist's skillful hand brings out the essence of this amusing tale. We see the old man sitting at a table, his face etched with total bewilderment. His wife stands beside him, clearly unamused by her husband's antics. It seems that our protagonist has hidden away some champagne bottles under the table, much to his wife's chagrin. This satirical illustration is part of Less Eminent Victorians by R. D. , published around 1927. With its clever play on words and light-hearted tone, it offers a glimpse into the humor prevalent during that time period. As we delve deeper into this whimsical artwork, we can't help but chuckle at how our abstainer from alcohol is now threatened by his own secret stash! The juxtaposition between his reputation as an abstainer and his love for champagne adds another layer of hilarity to this scene. Through this delightful engraving, we are reminded that even in more serious times like the Victorian era, laughter and lightheartedness were never far away - providing us with timeless entertainment and joy.
