Christian Charity! or, They Will Sink the Boat between Them
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colorful lithograph captures a humorous and satirical moment from the 19th century. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, it was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on July 31,1869. Titled "Christian Charity! or, They Will Sink the Boat between Them" this illustration showcases a scene filled with caricatures and comic elements. The image depicts a boat carrying various individuals who are deeply engrossed in an argument. Oblivious to their surroundings, they fail to notice that they are heading straight for a perilous waterfall. This satirical drawing highlights the foolishness of their dispute and serves as scathing satire on British politics during that time. Morgan's clever use of humor and exaggerated features adds depth to this political cartoon. It reflects the artist's critique of societal obliviousness and serves as a reminder of how disagreements can blind us to imminent danger. Transportation plays a significant role in this artwork, symbolizing both physical movement and political discourse within Great Britain at that time. The tugboat represents different factions pulling in opposite directions while being completely unaware of the impending disaster ahead. With its vibrant colors and detailed illustrations, "Christian Charity! or, They Will Sink the Boat between Them" offers viewers an amusing yet thought-provoking commentary on human nature and political disputes. It stands as a testament to Matt Morgan's skillful craftsmanship as well as his ability to capture complex social dynamics through art.
