Old England to the Rescue - A Symbolic Caricature of Queen Victoria's Strength and Compassion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a remarkable illustration by Leon Lebegue, featured in "The Sunday Sun" on December 17,1899. The artwork portrays an iconic moment where Queen Victoria, riding atop a majestic unicorn, extends her nurturing hand towards an old and sick lion – symbolizing the English monarchy. In this imaginative caricature, Queen Victoria embodies the spirit of Old England as she fearlessly comes to the rescue. Her regal presence is magnified by her mythical steed, emphasizing her power and grace. With unwavering determination and compassion for her kingdom's emblematic lion, she holds onto it tightly. Lebegue's engraving skillfully depicts this symbolic scene with intricate details that bring it to life. The artist beautifully captures every stroke of his pen in this historical masterpiece. This front-page illustration from the English newspaper "Le sun-du-dimanche" not only showcases Lebegue's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to Queen Victoria's reign during a time when Britain faced challenges both at home and abroad. Through this image, we are reminded of Queen Victoria's dedication to protecting and preserving the English monarchy. It encapsulates her commitment to safeguarding tradition while embracing progress—a true representation of Old England coming together for its people in times of need. Stefano Bianchetti has meticulously preserved this piece from his private collection so that future generations can appreciate its significance in British history.
