EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century cartoon depicts St Swithun, the Anglo-Saxon bishop known for his association with the weather, ruling over yet another British summer. The satirical drawing captures the frustration and humor of Britons as they endure unpredictable and often rainy weather during the summer months. In this scathing satire, St Swithun is portrayed as a powerful figure controlling the seasons with a whimsical and mischievous demeanor. The illustration highlights the enduring fascination with British weather and its impact on daily life, as well as poking fun at religious beliefs and superstitions surrounding seasonal changes. The comic strip style adds to the playful tone of the cartoon, while also emphasizing the timeless nature of British summers that seem to be forever under St Swithun's influence. From Winchester Cathedral to modern-day picnics in soggy parks, this depiction of St Swithun's rule over British summers resonates with anyone who has experienced the joys and frustrations of summertime in Great Britain. As we continue to navigate through changing climates and uncertain forecasts, this historical cartoon serves as a reminder that some things never change – including St Swithun's reign over another typically unpredictable British summer.
