Newton and the Apple, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking print that captures the perils faced by politicians in serving public opinion. Created by Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, this satirical caricature from Punch, or the London Charivari depicts a male politician being surprised by an apple falling from a tree. The image symbolizes how politicians are constantly at risk of danger due to their reliance on public sentiment. In the 19th century, when this engraving was made, politicians were subject to changing opinions driven by controversial cases making headlines. This monochrome artwork serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by statesmen who must navigate these treacherous waters. The surprise on the man's face reflects his astonishment at how quickly public opinion can shift. The apple represents both nature's unpredictability and political consequences that can arise unexpectedly. Through clever satire and wit, Swain highlights the precarious position of those in power. This heritage image partnership between Joseph Swain and John Tenniel offers us insight into historical perceptions of politics and human nature. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people recognized the dangers inherent in being a servant to public opinion. As we gaze upon this intriguing print today, it prompts us to reflect on how little has changed regarding politics and its relationship with society.
