EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and amusing engraving, titled "Pudding before Meat" captures a satirical moment in English political history. Created by the talented artist John Tenniel, this cartoon was originally published on March 31,1866, as an illustration for Benjamin Disraeli's collection in Punch magazine. The scene depicts a dizzying scheme involving the Reform Bill introduction in England. The cartoon humorously portrays politicians scrambling for seats at a table where pudding is served before meat. This clever metaphor symbolizes the chaotic nature of British politics during that time. Amongst the caricatures are notable figures such as Benjamin Disraeli himself, Lord Russell, and Earl Grosvenor. The commentary extends beyond Britain's borders to include Germany and Europe at large. Tenniel's scathing satire highlights not only the political landscape but also pokes fun at German culture and its influence on European affairs. With his sharp wit and artistic skill, he manages to capture both the absurdity and complexity of these historical events. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into British society during this period of great change. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious political discussions, there is always room for humor and amusement.
