Alone in the World! (colour litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating nineteenth-century print that captures the essence of political satire and caricature. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this humorous illustration was originally featured in The Tomahawk magazine on March 6,1869. The image portrays a comical scene set in the wilderness, where an exaggerated cartoonish figure of Napoleon III, the Emperor of France during that era, is shown riding a horseback. With a mischievous grin on his face, he appears to be completely isolated from civilization and surrounded by various farm animals such as racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions. This satirical drawing cleverly mocks both French politics and British sentiments towards their continental neighbor. It highlights Napoleon III's perceived isolation within European politics while also poking fun at his love for horse riding as a sport. The artist's scathing satire reflects the tensions between France and Great Britain during this period. Through vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of Victorian illustrations, "Alone in the World!" invites viewers into a world where political figures are transformed into amusing characters amidst wild landscapes. This print serves as both entertainment and commentary on contemporary events for readers of The Tomahawk magazine. As part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this artwork showcases not only historical humor but also exemplifies how art can capture complex political dynamics with wit and creativity.
