Narcissus (by particular desire. ), 1833
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon print created by John Doyle, also known as H. B. , in London during the 19th century. The artwork depicts a water spout with the face of William Lamb, the 2nd Viscount Melbourne and Prime Minister of Britain at that time. Interestingly, the mythological figure of Narcissus is portrayed with the face of William Howard, who was the first Lord Lieutenant of Wicklow. This caricature serves as a humorous commentary on British politics and society during this period. It cleverly combines elements from Greek mythology with contemporary figures to convey its message. The use of satire highlights themes such as narcissism and self-obsession within political circles. The lithograph showcases Doyle's artistic talent in capturing both physical resemblances and symbolic representations. Through his skillful portrayal, he invites viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of power and vanity within society. This print offers an intriguing glimpse into historical events and personalities while providing entertainment through its witty depiction. Its significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to provoke thought about timeless human traits that continue to shape our world today. As we observe this artwork by John Doyle, we are reminded that political satire has long been a powerful tool for social commentary throughout history.
