EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical cartoon from the 1880s, Lord Cairns, played by Hugh McCalmont Cairns, the 1st Earl Cairns, is depicted in a state of annoyance and irritation as he examines a pile of bills and invoices spread out on the floor before him. His son, Arthur William Cairns, Lord Garmoyle, stands nearby, attempting to approach his father with a hooked cane. The caption reads, "Keep away from him, Garmoyle, while he is like this!" Lord Cairns' expression conveys a deep sense of frustration and exasperation, as he struggles to manage the financial burdens that his son has incurred. The bills and invoices, which include those from tailors and other merchants, are stacked high, symbolizing the mounting debt that Lord Gairns must confront. The cartoon, created by the artist Bryan in 1884, captures the mood of the Victorian era, when the responsibilities of managing a large estate and providing for a family could be overwhelming. The use of humor and satire in the image adds to its appeal, making it a fascinating glimpse into the social and economic realities of the time. Despite Lord Cairns' annoyance, the image also conveys a sense of tenderness and concern. The father's protective stance towards his son, even as he scolds him, suggests that beneath the surface of the cartoon lies a deep love and concern for the well-being of his family. Overall, this image offers a poignant and amusing look at the complexities of family dynamics and financial management during the Victorian era.
