The Devil Turned Drover - A Satirical Allegory of Political Damnation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This etching, "The Devil turnd Drover" published by William Tringham in 1756, offers a scathing satire on the political landscape of 18th-century England. The print depicts Prime Minister Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle upon Tyne and 1st duke of Newcastle under Lyme, transformed into a comical Newcastle fish-wife. In this allegorical scene, he is driven towards hell by the devil himself and Cerberus, while other prominent figures are represented as animals. Baron George Anson takes the form of a sea lion, symbolizing his naval exploits. Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland, assumes the guise of a cunning fox to represent his shrewdness in politics. Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke appears as a vulture signifying his predatory nature within government circles. Lastly, we see Viscount William Barrington portrayed as an obstinate donkey. Through its clever use of symbolism and caricature-like representations, this artwork serves as biting commentary on British politics at that time. It highlights issues such as foreign policy crises and exposes the perceived shortcomings and follies within the Whig government led by Prime Minister Newcastle. "The Devil turnd Drover" invites viewers to reflect on power dynamics and moral corruption within Parliament through its vivid depiction of damnation and hellfire awaiting those who abuse their positions for
