The Pas De Deux!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by John Tenniel, depicting a humorous scene filled with political satire. Created in 1878 for Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield from the Collection of Mr Punch, this cartoon showcases the artist's wit and talent. In this amusing illustration, we witness a grand Anglo-Turkish ballet d'action taking place. The setting is adorned with knights and lords laboring to earn their rewards within the most noble order. Political figures such as Benjamin Disraeli and Salisbury are prominently featured, adding an extra layer of significance to the piece. Tenniel's satirical drawing cleverly incorporates elements from European politics at that time. With references to Germany and its plenipotentiaries, it offers scathing commentary on political dynamics within Europe. The inclusion of the Garter symbolizes British distinction and highlights Britain's role in these affairs. The artist's mastery shines through in his ability to capture both humor and critique simultaneously. Through this satirical cartoon, Tenniel invites viewers to reflect on power struggles and alliances during that era while providing entertainment through his witty portrayal. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Tenniel's skillful craftsmanship even today. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a medium for social commentary.
