Caricature of Queen Victoria as a shepherdess with lambs
Caricature of Queen Victoria as a shepherdess with lambs and an animated pot of mint sauce. In the matter of lambs, Her Majesty sings, we mean to do without them! There had recently been a royal decree against eating lamb, in a rather confused response to a national shortage of sheep.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the playful spirit of Queen Victoria as she is depicted as a shepherdess with a flock of lambs at her feet, surrounded by the rolling hills of the English countryside. The Queen, known for her love of tradition and family, holds a staff in one hand and a book in the other, perhaps reading a royal decree or perhaps simply enjoying a moment of peace. But there's a twist to this idyllic scene - an animated pot of mint sauce stands nearby, alluding to a recent royal decree against eating lamb due to a national shortage of sheep. The pot comes to life, adding a touch of satire and symbolism to the image. This caricature, created by Alfred Bryan in 1883, is a testament to the Victorian era's sense of humor and ability to find levity in even the most confusing of situations. The image of a queen as a shepherdess was a common symbol of monarchy and the care and protection of the people, but in this case, it takes on a new meaning as the Queen herself becomes a shepherdess of a different kind, overseeing the supply and demand of an essential food source. The caricature is a reminder of the interconnectedness of the monarchy, the people, and the natural world, and the unexpected twists and turns that life can bring.
