EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Orange Jumper" captures a moment in the highly contested election for the seat of Pudsey, Yorkshire in 1807. Published by Hannah Humphrey in 1809, this hand-coloured etching by James Gillray is a remarkable piece of political satire and caricature. In this satirical portrait, we see Lord Milton, the Whig candidate, depicted as an overweight figure wearing an orange jumper. The banner he holds proudly displays his anti-Catholic emancipation stance. This image reflects the intense religious and political divisions of the time. Gillray's masterful engraving skillfully portrays Henry Lascelles (1767-1841), a prominent Tory candidate known for his opposition to William Wilberforce's abolitionist efforts. Lascelles is shown with a pot belly and portrayed as someone who supports maintaining Protestant dominance. This campaign poster-turned-artwork showcases Gillray's ability to capture not only physical characteristics but also political ideologies through visual satire. It serves as both a humorous commentary on the candidates' appearances and their positions on important issues of that era. Now part of New College Oxford's collection, this historical artifact provides us with valuable insights into past elections and societal attitudes towards religion and politics during early 19th-century England.
