EDITORS COMMENTS
Throwing Mud! (colour litho) captures the scandalous and humorous spirit of 19th-century caricatures. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this satirical illustration was originally published in The Tomahawk on May 7,1870. The artwork, now part of a private collection, showcases the British tradition of political mudslinging through cleverly crafted cartoons. In this comical scene, we witness a moment of disrespect towards monarchy as mud is playfully thrown at a statue representing royalty. With its witty portrayal and sharp commentary on politics, Throwing Mud! exemplifies the power of satire during that era. The cartoon features prominent figures such as the Prince of Wales (later known as King Edward VII), adding an extra layer of intrigue to the piece. Through exaggerated caricatures and scathing satire, Somerville highlights the turbulent political climate in Great Britain at that time. This satirical drawing not only reflects British culture but also serves as a reminder of how art can be used to critique authority and challenge societal norms. As we gaze upon this vibrant lithograph from the past, it invites us to ponder the enduring relevance and impact of political cartoons throughout history.
