Sowing Tares - The Socialist Devil Sows Weeds in the Field of Labour

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking and satirical political cartoon from the 1880s, created by an unknown artist. This print is a clever parody of John Everett Millais' religious painting "His Enemy Came and Sowed Tares Among the Wheat," created in 1886. In Millais' original painting, an enemy comes and sows tares (weeds) among the wheat, representing the danger of evil entering an otherwise pure and productive field. In the cartoon version, the enemy is identified as socialism, or the socialist devil, sowing tares among the labourers. The socialist devil, depicted as a horned figure with a pitchfork, is shown sowing seeds among the workers, who are busy at their tasks. The cartoon serves as a warning of the dangers of socialism and communism, which were gaining popularity during the late Victorian era. The socialist devil's presence among the labourers represents the insidious nature of these political ideologies, which could infiltrate even the most productive and hardworking communities. The use of a religious painting as a basis for this political satire highlights the perceived threat that socialism posed to traditional values and social order during this time. The cartoon also underscores the fear and mistrust of the unknown and the unfamiliar, as well as the belief that these political ideologies were a dangerous influence on society. Overall, "Sowing Tares: The Socialist Devil Sows Weeds in the Field of Labour" is a powerful and evocative image that captures the political and social tensions of the late Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of satire and political cartoons as a means of commenting on and shaping public opinion.
