The Wicked Wags: A Late 19th Century Political Caricature featuring Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, Henry Du Pre Labouchere, Timothy Michael Healy, and Thomas Gibson Bowles This intriguing political caricature, titled "The Wicked Wags," dates back to 1899 and was created by the renowned British satirical artist, Francis Carruthers Gould. The image captures a moment of tension between four prominent British politicians of the late 19th century: Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, Henry Du Pre Labouchere, Timothy Michael Healy, and Thomas Gibson Bowles. Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, an American-born British Conservative politician, is depicted on the left, holding a parasol and wearing a top hat. Ashmead-Bartlett was known for his opposition to Irish Home Rule and his support for the British Empire. Next to him stands Radical MP Henry Du Pre Labouchere, wearing a bowler hat and holding a cane. Labouchere was a prominent figure in British politics, known for his radical views and his role in passing the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885, which raised the age of consent for sexual activity. To the right, Irish Nationalist Politician and British MP Timothy Michael Healy is shown, wearing a green hat and holding a shillelagh. Healy was a vocal advocate for Irish Home Rule and was a prominent figure in Irish nationalist politics. Finally, on the far right, we see British MP Thomas (Tommy) Gibson Bowles, wearing a monocle and holding a walking stick. Gibson Bowles was a journalist and politician, known for his support of imperial policy and his opposition to Irish Home Rule. The caricature's title, "The Wicked Wags," suggests that the politicians are being lampooned for their controversial views and actions. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of late 19th century Britain and the tensions between different political factions.
