The Comic Novel or Downing Street and the Days of Victoria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and satirical print by the Artists Fun Society, created in 1840. This intriguing image, titled and published by Lynx, offers a witty commentary on the political climate of Downing Street during the early Victorian era. At the center of the print, we see a grand procession making its way down Downing Street, the iconic London street that has served as the official residence and office of the British Prime Minister since the late 18th century. The scene is filled with a lively mix of characters, including politicians, bureaucrats, and even a vampire bat, adding an element of the fantastical to the political satire. The title page, designed by the Artists Fun Society, is depicted at the top of the print. The Society, known for its humorous and irreverent take on current events, was a collective of artists and satirists who used their work to poke fun at the establishment. In this print, they have captured the essence of the political scene during Queen Victoria's reign, with its intrigue, power struggles, and the occasional absurdity. The people in the print are shown on foot, on horseback, and in carriages, all making their way down the street towards the Prime Minister's residence. Some are deep in conversation, while others seem to be engaged in heated debates. The overall effect is one of chaos and excitement, as the business of government is conducted amidst the bustle of London life. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the early Victorian era, a time of great change and upheaval in British history. With its blend of humor and satire, "The Comic Novel or Downing Street and the Days of Victoria" provides a unique perspective on the political landscape of the time, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to entertain, provoke, and challenge.
