EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon by John Tenniel humorously comments on the second attempt to lay the Atlantic Telegraph Cable in the 19th century. With his exceptional artistic skills, Tenniel brings this historical event to life through his clever and satirical illustrations. In this print, we are transported into a whimsical underwater world where mermaids and mythical creatures reside. The scene depicts King Neptune, ruler of the seas, alongside a group of mermaids who seem to be discussing the ambitious endeavor of laying the telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean. Tenniel's attention to detail is evident as he captures each character's unique personality and expression. The mermaids appear both curious and skeptical about this human-made invention that would connect continents like never before. Meanwhile, King Neptune seems amused by their conversation, perhaps contemplating how this technological advancement could impact his watery domain. Through this lighthearted depiction, Tenniel playfully highlights humanity's constant quest for progress and innovation while also acknowledging our connection with mythological tales that have fascinated us throughout history. This delightful artwork serves as a reminder of how art can not only entertain but also provide insightful commentary on significant events in our shared past.
