Don't Desert Me
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and captivating nineteenth-century lithograph that captures the essence of political satire and humor. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this colorful print showcases his talent for caricatures and comic illustrations. The image portrays Britannia, symbolizing Great Britain, in a state of pleading desperation. With tears streaming down her face, she clings onto a majestic lion, representing royalty and power. The allegorical scene is dedicated to HRH the Prince of Wales, adding an intriguing layer of significance. Published in The Tomahawk magazine on November 28th, 1868, this satirical cartoon offers scathing commentary on British politics during the Victorian era. It cleverly combines elements of restraint and humor to convey its message effectively. Somerville's skillful use of exaggeration highlights the absurdity inherent in monarchy and political dynamics. Through this satirical drawing, he challenges notions of authority while entertaining readers with his wit. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to a time when political cartoons held immense influence over public opinion. "Don't Desert Me" serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst great power structures like those found within Britain's monarchy, there is always room for critical examination through artistry and satire.
