EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Is Detection a Failure?, 1888" captures the essence of a satirical cartoon by Joseph Swain, published in Punch magazine during the 19th century. The artwork humorously highlights the drawbacks inherent in the footsteps of a policeman being dogged by journalists. As depicted, while detectives tirelessly work to solve crimes and make headline news on the Muckrake Gazette, criminals are able to relax at home and patiently wait for a quieter time to resume their illicit activities. This thought-provoking image reflects on the concept of failure within law enforcement and journalism during that era. It showcases how excessive media attention can hinder successful detective work, allowing criminals to evade justice effortlessly. The monochrome engraving adds depth and intensity to this caricatured scene. Created by renowned artists Harry Furniss, John Tenniel, and Joseph Swain himself, this print is an intriguing portrayal of professions intertwined with crime-solving endeavors. It serves as a reminder that even in the 19th century, societal challenges such as failed detection were subjects ripe for satire. Preserved through Heritage Images Partnership's collection, this piece offers us insight into historical perspectives on occupation dynamics while showcasing exceptional artistic talent from its creators – Furniss, Tenniel, and Swain – whose names have become synonymous with social commentary through visual storytelling.
