EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, created by the renowned political satirist Francis Carruthers Gould in 1900, offers a humorous yet insightful take on George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston (1859-1925), during his tenure as Viceroy of India. Known for his aristocratic demeanor, Curzon was a man of considerable arrogance and inflexibility, earning him both admiration and criticism during his time in office. In this Struwwelpeter-inspired cartoon, Curzon is depicted as an imposing elephant, symbolizing his perceived obnoxiousness and superior airs. The caption "Ladies do not move" is a reference to one of his most infamous pronouncements, which further fueled his reputation as a rude and arrogant figure. The image of Curzon bowing low before an unmoving group of ladies adds to the satirical tone, highlighting his unpopularity and the social unrest that accompanied his rule in India. Despite the lampooning nature of this caricature, it remains an intriguing historical document that sheds light on the complexities of Curzon's character and the political climate of the time. The image serves as a reminder of the intricacies of colonial rule, and the often-complicated relationships between colonial administrators and the local population.
