The Rising Generation
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Leech is a captivating and humorous cartoon print from the 1840s, published in the renowned Punch magazine in 1848. This is the first of a series of twelve drawings, each offering a satirical commentary on various aspects of Victorian society. The scene depicts a father and his son seated in a cozy, domestic setting by the fireplace. The father, dressed in a suit and holding a newspaper, is engrossed in his reading, while the youth, dressed in a tasseled cap and bell-bottomed trousers, pulls on a bell rope attached to the fireplace. The caption above the father reads, "Father," and above the son, "Son." The humor in this print lies in the contrast between the generations and their interests. The father, a symbol of the older generation, is absorbed in the news of the day, while the son, representing the rising generation, is eager to interrupt his father's quiet moment with a request for attention. The bell, a common household item used to summon servants, adds to the satire, highlighting the changing dynamics of the household and the shifting power dynamics between generations. The print also reflects the early Victorian era's social norms and values, with the father's focus on the newspaper symbolizing the importance of staying informed and educated. The son's eagerness to interrupt, on the other hand, may be seen as a commentary on the youth's impatience and lack of respect for authority. Overall, "The Rising Generation" provides a humorous and insightful look into the social and domestic life of the Victorian era.
