EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "1849, A prospect of Exeter Hall showing a Christian Gentleman denouncing the Pope" by Richard Doyle offers a humorous glimpse into early Victorian society. The scene takes place in Exeter Hall, where a Christian gentleman passionately condemns the Pope. With its amusing and satirical undertones, this artwork provides an entertaining commentary on religious tensions during the mid-19th century. Doyle's illustration was originally featured in "Manners and Cvstoms of ye Englyshe drawn from ye Quick" published by Bradbury & Evans in 1850. This digitally cleaned image showcases the artist's skillful caricature style, capturing both social nuances and English customs of that era. Exeter Hall itself serves as a backdrop for this comical encounter. Located in London, it was known as a hub for Protestant Anglicanism gatherings and events at the time. The exaggerated gestures and expressions of the characters add to the overall humor portrayed in this piece. Through his artistry, Doyle sheds light on religious divisions prevalent not only in England but also across Europe during that period. This engraving invites viewers to reflect upon societal attitudes towards religion while offering them an engaging visual experience filled with wit and entertainment.
