Project Gutenberg 2004-07-13 Public domain in the USA. 1273 Seymour, Robert 1798 1836 Sketches by Seymour — Complete Produced by David Widger "Sketches by Seymour — Complete" by Robert Seymour is a collection of illustrations and humorous short pieces, likely compiled during the early 19th century. The work serves as a satire on various social aspects, often employing puns, jokes, and visual sketches to convey wit and commentary on daily life, particularly focusing on themes of sport, fishing, and the antics of everyday characters. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to a series of comedic scenarios involving amateur sportsmen, particularly in fishing and shooting contexts. The narrative sets the tone with humorous depictions of fishermen whose adventures often lead to mishaps, such as a man falling into a stream while attempting to fish or the misfiring of guns leading to unintended chaos. These scenes portray the often ridiculous and futile nature of their pursuits, emphasizing the absurdity of their situations while also revealing much about human nature and societal norms through satire and witty dialogue. The opening also hints at various characters that are likely to reappear in the subsequent sketches, each contributing to the light-hearted commentary on life in that period.
