The New Years Gift, 1858
The New Years Gift, 1858. This cartoon shows Sir Colin Campbell presenting the leashed tiger of India to Palmerston who, rather in the manner of a lion tamer, shelters nervously behind a chair, reluctant to accept this barely tamed gift. Pam (To Sir Colin). Well- upon my word - eh! - I m extremely obliged to you - but - eh! - how about keeping the brute?. Sir Colin Campbell was made Commander-in-Chief in India by Palmerston in July 1857, at the height of the Indian Mutiny. Following the death of Sir Henry Havelock, Sir Colin was quick to restore British authority in India. From Punch, or the London Charivari, January 2, 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical cartoon print titled "The New Years Gift, 1858" we see a humorous depiction of Sir Colin Campbell presenting the leashed tiger of India to Lord Palmerston. The scene portrays Palmerston, the Prime Minister at the time, sheltering nervously behind a chair, resembling a lion tamer hesitant to accept this barely tamed gift. The caption captures Palmerston's reluctance as he exclaims his surprise and gratitude while questioning whether they should keep such a dangerous creature. The context behind this cartoon lies in the historical events of the Indian Mutiny in 1857. Sir Colin Campbell was appointed Commander-in-Chief in India by Palmerston during this rebellion against British rule. Following the death of Sir Henry Havelock, Campbell swiftly restored British authority in India. Through clever metaphorical imagery and witty satire, John Tenniel's engraving highlights both political and imperialistic themes prevalent during that era. This black-and-white print from Punch magazine reflects societal attitudes towards colonialism and Britain's role as an empire. As we observe this heritage image partnership between Tenniel, Lord Palmerston, and Sir Colin Campbell captured within the frame of history, it serves as a reminder of how politics intertwine with power dynamics on both national and international levels.
