EDITORS COMMENTS
The comical print titled "Quid times? Caesarem vehis, 1852" by John Leech takes us back to ancient Rome and offers a satirical portrayal of the transportation challenges faced by Julius Caesar. Set in the choppy waters of Italy, this humorous artwork captures the essence of Roman politics and society during the 1st century BC. In this engraving, we see a rowing boat filled with passengers navigating rough seas. At the center sits Julius Caesar himself, depicted as a caricatured figure with his distinctive features exaggerated for comedic effect. Surrounding him are soldiers, politicians, and other members of Roman society who appear equally distressed by their tumultuous voyage. Through clever use of satire, artist John Leech highlights not only the difficulties faced by those traveling at sea but also pokes fun at political figures and their ambitions. The comical nature of this illustration adds an amusing twist to historical events while shedding light on the power struggles that defined ancient Rome. This print from "The Comic History of Rome" serves as both entertainment and commentary on Roman history. It showcases Leech's artistic skill in capturing expressions and movement while providing viewers with a glimpse into life during one of history's most influential empires.
