EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Such Good Boys!, 1888" we are transported back to the political landscape of the late 19th century. The artwork, created by Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, depicts an intriguing scene within the British Parliament. The image showcases two prominent figures of that era: Master Gladstone, the Liberal Leader of the Opposition, and Lord Salisbury, the Conservative Prime Minister. As Mr Speaker reaches for his birch – a symbol of punishment – both politicians promise to be good boys. This satirical representation reflects new procedures introduced in Parliament during that session in an effort to address issues caused by MPs' use of bad language and unruly behavior. Dressed in their formal attire with mortarboard hats representing their occupation as statesmen, these influential men stand before us as caricatures. The cartoon-like portrayal adds a touch of humor to this serious matter while highlighting their roles as representatives of their respective parties. This engraving not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a commentary on politics and government behavior at that time. It sheds light on attempts made to curb obstructionist tactics employed by some members of Parliament while emphasizing the need for more gentlemanly conduct among politicians. As we delve into this heritage image partnership between artists like Joseph Swain and notable political figures such as Lord Robert Cecil and William Ewart Gladstone, we gain insight into how satire played a role in shaping public opinion during this period.
