EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph titled "You may know a man by the company he keeps, 1833" captures a significant moment in political history. Created by John Doyle, this print showcases influential figures from the Whig party and supporters of the repeal of the Corn Laws and Parliamentary Reform. In the foreground, we see William Cobbett, an outspoken advocate for reform and social justice. Standing beside him are John Charles Spencer, Lord Althorp, known for his progressive views on parliamentary matters, and Edward Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby, who played a crucial role in pushing for reforms during this era. Behind them stands Sir Francis Burdett, a Tory reformer who aligned himself with these Whig politicians. This satirical cartoon provides insight into Georgian politics and highlights the alliances formed to bring about change. The composition cleverly suggests that one can judge a person's character based on their associations. Through intricate details and subtle symbolism, Doyle masterfully captures both the tension and camaraderie among these influential individuals. This lithograph serves as a historical document that sheds light on key players in British politics during this transformative period. Displayed within private collections today, this artwork continues to be admired for its artistic merit while serving as a reminder of past struggles for political reform.
