Justice to Ireland, 1869. Artist: John Tenniel
Justice to Ireland, 1869. The Liberal Party having won the General Election at the end of 1868, Mr Gladstone became Prime Minister. One of his first acts was to introduce a Bill to disestablish the Irish Church. This cartoon shows Gladstone sacrificing the Irish Church at the feet of a blindfolded Justice. The message was that this act was not to be taken as licence for further Fenian activity, nor for Catholicism to attempt to take control of religious issues in Ireland. From Punch, or the London Charivari, January 16, 1869

Justice to Ireland, 1869
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful political cartoon captured by the talented artist John Tenniel. The print depicts an important moment in history when the Liberal Party emerged victorious in the General Election of 1868, leading to William Ewart Gladstone assuming office as Prime Minister. In this significant period, Gladstone wasted no time and introduced a groundbreaking Bill aimed at disestablishing the Irish Church. Tenniel's artwork portrays Gladstone symbolically sacrificing the Irish Church before Justice herself. With her eyes blindfolded, Justice represents impartiality and fairness while holding the scales of justice. This visual metaphor conveys that Gladstone's act should not be misconstrued as an endorsement for further Fenian activities or Catholicism's dominance over religious matters in Ireland. The cartoon showcases various elements such as men and women dressed in traditional attire, including top hats and tunics, representing different factions affected by this decision. Through satire and engraving techniques prevalent during that era, Tenniel skillfully captures both historical context and social commentary within this monochrome black-and-white image. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Tenniel's artistic prowess while shedding light on one of Britain's most influential statesmen—William Ewart Gladstone—and his efforts towards reforming religious policies in Ireland during the 19th century. It stands as a valuable heritage image that encapsulates an essential chapter in British politics and religion through its intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism.
