EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Pictures in the Fire" is a thought-provoking cartoon that was featured in the renowned Tomahawk magazine on August 24th, 1867. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, a prominent English political cartoonist known for his critical and anti-royalist illustrations, this particular piece offers a scathing critique of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and her servant John Brown. The image depicts Queen Victoria sitting beside a roaring fire, engrossed in the flickering flames. However, upon closer inspection, one can discern hidden symbolism within the illustration. A scandalous lion's head emerges from the fire as if whispering secrets into Victoria's ear while she wears her regal crown atop her head. Surrounding the queen are various figures dressed in Native American Indian costumes; perhaps representing an allegory for colonialism or imperialism prevalent during Victorian times. The inclusion of teepees further emphasizes this notion. Morgan's satirical approach to addressing politics and challenging established institutions shines through this artwork. With its anti-establishment undertones and sharp wit, "Pictures in the Fire" serves as both a historical artifact reflecting Victorian society and an enduring testament to Morgan's artistic prowess. Now part of a private collection but available for public viewing due to its out-of-copyright status, this lithograph continues to captivate viewers with its intriguing blend of scandalous imagery and political commentary.
