EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Propriety behind the Scenes" captures a vibrant and humorous scene from the nineteenth century. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, this colour lithograph showcases his talent for caricature and satire. Dedicated to the Lord Chamberlain, this illustration was originally published in The Tomahawk on February 13,1869. It offers a scathing yet comical commentary on political propriety during that era. With its clever use of costumes and exaggerated features, it presents a satirical take on British politicians and their actions. The image is filled with an array of characters dressed in elaborate outfits, including tutus, representing various political figures of the time. Through their exaggerated expressions and gestures, Morgan highlights the absurdity of their behavior while subtly commenting on societal norms. This satirical drawing reflects both the liberal mindset prevalent in Britain at that time as well as the artist's keen eye for detail. The cartoon-like quality adds to its appeal and makes it relatable even today. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where politics met humor with delightful results. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an effective medium for social commentary throughout history.
