EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century cartoon by John Tenniel offers a satirical commentary on the dirtiness of the Thames and the investigations into bribery during elections in Great Yarmouth, Reigate, and Lancaster. As an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, Tenniel skillfully captures the essence of this social issue through his art. The image depicts a scene along the river Thames with various characters engaged in questionable activities. The polluted state of the river is symbolized by its murky waters and floating debris. This visual representation serves as a metaphor for the corruption that plagues these election processes. Tenniel's use of satire highlights not only the uncleanliness of the Thames but also sheds light on widespread bribery practices during this time period. By incorporating elements such as comic exaggeration and caricatured figures, he effectively conveys his message to viewers. Through this thought-provoking illustration, Tenniel aims to draw attention to these unethical practices while offering social commentary on their impact on democratic processes. His work serves as a reminder that transparency and integrity are essential components for fair elections. This print from Fine Art Finder provides us with a glimpse into history while showcasing Tenniel's talent as both an artist and political commentator. It reminds us that even centuries ago, artists played an important role in shedding light on societal issues through their creative expressions.
