EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "The Royal Arms Jubilant" transports us back to the historic year of 1887, when Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee. Created by the talented artist Tom Merry, this colour lithograph captures the essence of this momentous occasion. Intricately detailed, the artwork showcases the iconic Royal Arms adorned with symbols representing British monarchy - a majestic lion and a noble unicorn. These powerful creatures embody strength and grace, symbolizing unity under Queen Victoria's reign. Amidst these regal emblems lies a coat of arms proudly displaying the motto "Dieu et Mon Droit" meaning "God and my Right". This phrase serves as a reminder of divine authority bestowed upon monarchs throughout history. However, what truly sets this piece apart is its satirical twist. Amidst all grandeur, we see smoke rising from both sides of the coat of arms. This subtle yet clever detail adds an element of humor and irony to the composition. It playfully suggests that even in times of celebration, there are challenges to be faced. "The Royal Arms Jubilant" not only commemorates fifty years on the throne but also reflects on society's ability to find amusement in satire during such significant events. As we gaze at this remarkable print today, it serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance – reminding us that even amidst grand occasions, wit can always find its place.
