EDITORS COMMENTS
The Looking Glass, No 10 (colour litho) captures a vibrant scene from 19th century England, showcasing the intricate details of political and societal dynamics during that era. This print, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the complex themes of election, parliament, corn laws, and representation. The image transports us to the House of Commons where politicians engage in heated debates while surrounded by an array of characters. Scavengers symbolize the corrupt practice of rotten boroughs while a devilish figure lurks in the background representing sinister influences on politics. A doctor or quack can be seen amidst this chaotic scene highlighting medical concerns related to alcohol consumption. Amidst all this commotion stands a looking glass - perhaps serving as a metaphor for self-reflection and introspection within society. It prompts viewers to question their own role in shaping democracy and liberty. The artist's use of color lithography adds depth and vibrancy to every detail captured within this print. From the expressions on people's faces to the various beverages being consumed – booze flows freely throughout this lively gathering. This artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and historical documentation; it encapsulates not only political events but also social attitudes towards drinking culture at that time. The Looking Glass invites us to peer into history through its lens and contemplate how far we have come since then.
