EDITORS COMMENTS
This Punch cartoon from 1875, titled "Baby Worship" is a satirical engraving by George Du Maurier. The image showcases the humorous and thought-provoking nature of British humor during the Victorian era. In this scene, we see a group of men and women dressed in elaborate costumes, admiring and adoring a baby while excluding another individual who watches on with longing. The artist skillfully captures the essence of maternal love and fussing over infants, highlighting society's fascination with babies at that time. The exaggerated caricatures add an element of amusement to the illustration, making it both funny and relatable. Du Maurier's work often focused on social commentary through satire, using his cartoons to poke fun at various aspects of British culture. This particular piece reflects on themes such as boredom, exclusion, and human emotions. As we delve into this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only the wit and creativity of Du Maurier but also gain insight into societal norms surrounding motherhood and child-rearing during the Victorian era. Overall, this punch cartoon serves as a reminder that even though times have changed since its creation over 140 years ago, our fascination with babies remains timeless.
