The Westminster Watchman - A Satirical Caricature of Charles James Fox as a Night Watchman
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this intriguing engraving from 1784, artist Thomas Rowlandson presents us with a satirical depiction of the prominent Whig politician Charles James Fox. Entitled "The Westminster Watchman" the print humorously portrays Fox as a night watchman, complete with his characteristic cap and uniform. Fox, known for his progressive views and vocal opposition to King George III's policies, is here portrayed in an unexpected role. The image captures him patrolling the streets at night, symbolizing his constant vigilance over political affairs. His loyal companion, a collie dog by his side, adds an element of loyalty and protection to the scene. This caricature was originally featured in Joseph Grego's book "A History of Parliamentary Elections and Electioneering" published in 1892. It serves as both a humorous commentary on Fox's political career and an insight into the lively world of electioneering during that era. Rowlandson's skilled artistry shines through in this piece, capturing not only Fox's likeness but also infusing it with wit and satire. Through clever visual storytelling, he invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of politics while providing entertainment. "The Westminster Watchman" remains a fascinating historical artifact that offers us glimpses into both 18th-century British politics and Rowlandson's artistic genius.
