EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical cartoon print from 1919, titled "A Noble Example," we see Lord and Lady Overbury enjoying a vegetarian lunch in front of their grand house in Belgrave Square. The scene is meant to set an example of frugality to the carnivorous poor, highlighting the stark class differences present in postwar London.
The cartoon humorously depicts the wealthy couple dining on vegetables while a raven perched nearby quoths "Nevermore" - a nod to Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem. The artists, Lucas George Morrow, cleverly uses satire to comment on the extravagance of the rich contrasted with the struggles of the poor during this time period.
The Georgian terrace and opulent surroundings serve as a backdrop for this comical yet thought-provoking illustration. Lord and Lady Overbury are portrayed as oblivious to the hardships faced by those less fortunate, choosing instead to flaunt their wealth through ostentatious displays like vegetarian lunches.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the social inequalities that existed in early 20th century London and challenges viewers to consider how they can use their privilege for good. It is a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
