The Real Guardian of the Poor! or, A Change for the Better
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of 19th-century British society. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville in 1869, this artwork was dedicated to the Board of Guardians of St Pancras. The image depicts a scene filled with caricatures and humor, shedding light on the poor law and poverty prevalent during that era. The cartoon-like figures represent various societal elements such as workhouses, death, suffering, and political satire. Through its scathing commentary, it criticizes the hardships faced by those living in poverty while highlighting the role played by government institutions like the Board of Guardians. Somerville's illustration originally appeared in The Tomahawk magazine on September 4th, 1869. It showcases his talent for combining wit with artistic skill to deliver a powerful message about social inequality. This print serves as a reminder of Victorian London's struggles with poverty and highlights Britain's political landscape at that time. With its bold colors and exaggerated characters, it captures attention while inviting viewers to reflect on issues still relevant today. As part of private collection now preserved by Look and Learn, this artwork continues to be an important historical artifact representing European society during one of its most transformative periods – both politically and socially.
