EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Ministers!!!??? (colour litho) captures the satirical essence of 19th-century British politics with its humorous caricatures and clever comic portrayal. This vibrant print, created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, depicts a scene from The Tomahawk magazine on July 16,1870. In this political cartoon, we witness the witty imagination of Morgan as he pokes fun at two prominent ministers of the time. With his skilled use of color lithography, he brings to life the absurdity and irony that often accompanied political discourse during this era. The image showcases Hugh Childers, Minister for War, and Edward Cardwell, First Lord of the Admiralty. Through exaggerated features and playful gestures, Morgan highlights their roles in shaping Britain's armed forces and government policies. This satirical drawing not only reflects the artist's talent but also serves as a scathing satire on British politics. It offers a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with political cartoons as a means to critique those in power. As we admire this piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time to provide insight into historical events. Two Ministers!!!??? stands as an enduring testament to both Morgan's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the complexities of politics through humor.
