EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled "The Money-Spinner," depicts the American-born British Conservative politician, William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett Burdett-Coutts, in the prime of his political career during the Victorian era. Dressed in formal attire, complete with top hat and cane, Burdett-Coutts is shown spinning coins and cash from a seemingly endless supply of moneybags. The caricature, created by renowned satirical artist Terry Parker, was published in the late 1880s, reflecting the public's fascination with the wealthy and influential Burdett-Coutts. Born in the United States, Burdett-Coutts made a name for himself as a British Conservative politician after marrying the renowned philanthropist, Baroness Burdett-Coutts, in February 1881. Prior to their union, Burdett-Coutts had served as the Baroness's secretary. The marriage brought him into the aristocratic circles of British society, and he quickly became a prominent figure in Tory politics. Despite his newfound status, Burdett-Coutts was not above a bit of light-hearted satire. This caricature, which playfully portrays him as a money-spinner, would have been seen as a harmless jab at his wealth and political influence. The image of Burdett-Coutts surrounded by coins and cash bags also serves as a reminder of the charitable work of the Baroness, who was known for her generous philanthropy and charitable endeavors. This caricature offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian politics and society, highlighting the public's fascination with wealth, power, and the lives of the rich and famous.
