EDITORS COMMENTS
QUEEN VICTORIA CARTOON. New Crowns For Old Ones! Cartoon, 1876, by John Tenniel captures the essence of political action and controversy surrounding Benjamin Disraeli's measure to add the title of Empress of India to Queen Victoria's royal titles. In this satirical illustration, Tenniel skillfully portrays the late Victorian era with its intricate details and subtle symbolism. The cartoon depicts a stern-looking Queen Victoria seated on her throne, adorned with an array of crowns representing various colonies under British rule. Standing beside her is Disraeli, portrayed as a man wearing a turban symbolizing his support for Indian interests. The contrasting figures highlight the tension between tradition and change in British colonial policy. Tenniel's artwork reflects anti-colonial sentiments prevalent during that time period. It critiques Britain's imperialistic ambitions by suggesting that adding new titles does not address the underlying issues faced by colonized nations like India. The cartoon cleverly implies that simply replacing old crowns with new ones fails to address the oppressive nature of colonialism. This historical print serves as a reminder of Britain's dominance over India during the height of its empire and sheds light on public opinion regarding Disraeli's controversial proposal. It encapsulates both political commentary and artistic brilliance, showcasing why John Tenniel remains one of history’s most renowned political cartoonists.
