God Save the Queen! or, The Past and the Future
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of 19th-century British political humor. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville in 1867, this illustration was originally featured in The Tomahawk magazine. The artwork depicts a comical scene where Queen Victoria sits on her throne, adorned with a magnificent crown. Surrounding her are various caricatures representing different nations within the British Empire. With wit and cleverness, Somerville pokes fun at both domestic and international politics of the time. This satirical cartoon reflects not only the artist's talent but also his keen observation of society. Through exaggerated features and humorous details, he highlights the complexities of ruling an empire while providing entertainment for readers. The image also serves as a commentary on European affairs during that era. Germany takes center stage as its people are depicted in multiple guises - from Germanic to Northern Germans - reflecting their influence on European politics. Overall, "God Save the Queen! or, The Past and the Future" showcases Somerville's mastery in combining artistry with satire. It invites viewers to reflect on power dynamics, national identity, and political alliances prevalent during Victorian times.
