EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous engraving by John Tenniel captures a satirical moment in British political history. Titled "Civil Service Stores" the cartoon was published on 11th March 1876, during a time of official inquiry and careful consideration within the government. The image depicts an amusing scene where subjects are seen evading embarrassing questions through clever practices. The Civil Service Stores, located in England, become the backdrop for this comical portrayal of politicians trying to navigate their responsibilities amidst a royal commission. Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, is featured prominently in this artwork from Mr Punch's collection. Tenniel's caricature showcases his scathing satire as he pokes fun at both German and British politics. With references to Germany and Europe scattered throughout the drawing, it highlights the political climate of that era. While not mentioning any commercial use or specific company associated with this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, it invites viewers to appreciate its historical significance rather than focusing on its potential commercial value. Overall, this satirical cartoon offers a glimpse into British culture and politics during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder that even in serious matters such as official inquiries and governmental responsibilities, humor can play an essential role in providing commentary and critique.
