The Political Paul Pry - or, A Nasty Treat for Newdegate
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of political caricature in 19th century Britain. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this artwork was originally published in The Tomahawk on April 30,1870. The image depicts a comical scene where Charles Newdegate, a conservative Member of Parliament known for his anti-Catholic views, becomes the subject of scrutiny. Peering through a keyhole into what appears to be a convent, Newdegate's prying eyes are met with an unexpected surprise. Instead of finding scandalous behavior as he had hoped, he is confronted by mischievous nuns who gleefully expose his voyeuristic intentions. This clever cartoon not only mocks Newdegate's obsession with uncovering Catholic secrets but also highlights the absurdity of such prejudices. The exaggerated facial expressions and exaggerated features add to the humor and satire present throughout the piece. Somerville's illustration serves as both entertainment and social commentary, reminding viewers of the power dynamics at play within British politics during this time period. It reflects upon themes such as religion, charity, and political hypocrisy while providing amusement through its witty portrayal. "The Political Paul Pry: or A Nasty Treat for Newdegate" remains an engaging example of Victorian-era political cartoons that continue to captivate audiences today with their timeless wit and insight into societal issues.
