Deficiency. - Surplus. 1836 - A Satirical Caricature of British Politicians
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Deficiency. - Surplus. 1836" captures a moment of political satire created by John Doyle in his series "Political sketches of H. B". The caricature portrays two prominent figures in British politics during the 18th century, Thomas Spring Rice and James Pattison. In this comical portrayal, we see Thomas Spring Rice, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, depicted as an overweight gentleman with a top hat and extravagant clothing symbolizing excess and surplus. On the other hand, James Pattison, Governor of the Bank of England, is portrayed as a skinny figure wearing simple attire that represents deficiency or lack. Doyle's artistic skills shine through this lithograph engraving as he cleverly uses visual cues to comment on economic matters and political power dynamics prevalent at that time. Through exaggerated physical attributes and contrasting appearances between these statesmen, Doyle highlights their differing approaches towards finance and trade. The humor embedded within this satirical piece invites viewers to reflect upon the delicate balance required for effective governance in matters concerning economics and national wealth distribution. It serves as a reminder that even those entrusted with managing financial affairs can fall prey to either excessive spending or inadequate resource allocation. As we admire this historic print today, it offers us insight into both the political climate of 19th-century Britain and timeless human tendencies when it comes to handling fiscal matters – striking
