The New Christmas Pantomime
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a lithographic print that captures the humorous and satirical essence of 19th-century British politics. Created by John Doyle, this artwork depicts prominent political figures of the time in a theatrical setting, adding an entertaining twist to their roles. In the center, we see William Ewart Gladstone dressed as Columbine, dancing with Sir Robert Peel in his Harlequin costume. The backdrop features letters spelling out "Free trade" and "Sliding scale" representing two opposing economic policies. Duke of Wellington stands at left as Pantaloon, observing the performance with a watchful eye. Meanwhile, Sir James Graham portrays the Clown character on the right. The artist's clever use of satire highlights the political tensions and power struggles within Parliament during this era. Lord Russell can be seen walking away in the background, symbolizing his detachment from these theatrics. Published just before Christmas in 1845 by Thomas McLean, this print offers a lighthearted commentary on contemporary events while incorporating elements of traditional pantomimes popular during holiday seasons. "The New Christmas Pantomime" serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of influential politicians engaging in playful performances outside their usual roles. It showcases how art can provide social commentary while entertaining audiences through wit and creativity.
