Leap Year, Britannia! n.d.

Sir John Tenniel, a renowned illustrator known for his work in *Punch* magazine, created this whimsical pen and ink drawing titled *Leap Year, Britannia!* This satirical cartoon depicts a woman riding a horse while dressed in a traditional riding habit and military helmet, a humorous and exaggerated visual metaphor for women taking a more active role in society during a leap year. The drawing reflects the cultural and societal changes of the Victorian era. Tenniel's signature detailed style and use of satire in the image are characteristics that made his work popular during his lifetime.
