NONE BUT THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR 

"NONE BUT THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR" is a black and white woodcut illustration by John Leech, a renowned British cartoonist known for his work in Punch magazine. The image portrays a humorous scene of a young man, perhaps a suitor, standing awkwardly before a fashionable lady. His blushing face and hesitant posture suggest his nervousness in the presence of a beautiful woman, possibly a romantic interest. The image's simplicity and detailed linework create a sense of immediacy and humor, typical of Leech's work. The scene, likely set in a drawing room or a social gathering, captures a common social interaction of the Victorian era, reflecting the complexities of courtship and social dynamics. This illustration showcases Leech's ability to capture the essence of Victorian society through his humorous and observational skills.
