Taking up the Shell! or, A Patriots Deed
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of political humor in 19th century Britain. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, this artwork was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on March 27,1869. The image depicts a comical scene set aboard a ship during the nineteenth century. In this caricature, we see British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone leading from the front as he takes up a cannonball shell with great determination. Surrounding him are sailors and other political figures who observe his actions with amusement and curiosity. This cartoon holds deeper political significance as it alludes to the ongoing debate surrounding disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. With scathing satire, Morgan portrays Gladstone's leadership style and his role in shaping British politics at that time. The artist's skillful use of color and exaggerated features adds an element of humor to this satirical drawing. Through clever visual storytelling, Morgan invites viewers to reflect on the complex relationship between politicians, power dynamics, and public opinion. As a historical artifact capturing both social commentary and artistic expression from Victorian-era Britain, "Taking up the Shell! or, A Patriots Deed" serves as a reminder of how art can be used to convey political messages while entertaining its audience.
