EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a humorous scene from the 19th century, as depicted by the talented artist Edward Linley Sambourne.

The central focus of the image is a brother reluctantly chaperoning his sisters to enjoy an evening of entertainment. The composition showcases Sambourne's keen eye for detail and wit.
