Out in the Cold! or, The Sinking Volunteer
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant colour litho print that captures the essence of 19th-century British humor and political satire. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this illustration was featured in The Tomahawk magazine on April 3,1869. The image depicts a soldier standing knee-deep in snow, neglected and freezing. With a touch of irony, the dedication reads: "To His Kind Protectors - the Members of the House of Commons!". This satirical commentary highlights the hardships faced by soldiers while poking fun at politicians who may not fully understand their plight. The cartoon-like style adds to its humorous appeal as it showcases various animals surrounding the soldier. Horses, ponies, racehorses, and even farm animals are depicted alongside him. This whimsical inclusion emphasizes both the absurdity of his situation and perhaps suggests that he is not alone in his struggles. Somerville's artwork cleverly combines caricature with political commentary to create a scathing satire on British society during this era. It serves as a reminder that even those entrusted with protecting others can sometimes be left out in the cold themselves. This print offers an intriguing glimpse into Victorian Britain's social dynamics while showcasing Somerville's talent for blending humor with biting criticism. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us reflect on how art has always been an avenue for expressing societal concerns and challenging authority throughout history.
