EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon illustrated by John Tenniel transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fears and apprehensions of Londoners during that time. The artwork humorously comments on public concerns regarding the construction of a fever hospital near Hampstead Heath, which was cherished as a great lung and playground for the city dwellers. Tenniel's exceptional talent as an illustrator is evident in this piece, as he skillfully captures both the seriousness and absurdity of the situation. The cartoon depicts people anxiously stalking around, their faces filled with worry about the potential danger lurking nearby. With his signature style, Tenniel manages to infuse dark humor into this otherwise grim subject matter. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every character seems to have a story written on their face. Amidst all this chaos, one cannot help but notice a group of dead figures lying on the grass—a stark reminder of what could be at stake if these fears materialize. Through this thought-provoking illustration, Tenniel cleverly touches upon themes such as health, illness, politics, and public space. It serves as a testament to his ability not only as an artist but also as a political cartoonist who used his craft to shed light on societal issues. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Tenniel's genius even today and reminds us how art can transcend time while still resonating with contemporary audiences.
