EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Weldon to Monsieur Gounod: I'll let you know, dear Charles, that you must not libel me!" This cartoon, published in 1885, depicts the renowned classical singer, Georgina Weldon (1837-1914), engaged in a lively exchange with the famous French composer, Charles Gounod. The setting is the entr'acte of an opera performance, with the stage curtain drawn back to reveal the two figures in the wings. Mrs. Weldon, dressed in a black veil and holding a folded piece of paper, looks sternly at Gounod, who is shown with a quill pen in hand, seemingly oblivious to her warning. During the 1880s, the late Victorian era, Georgina Weldon was no stranger to legal troubles. Known for her fiery temperament and strong will, she was frequently embroiled in lawsuits and libel cases with various individuals. In this instance, it appears that Gounod may have crossed a line with his words or actions, leading to this heated confrontation. The cartoonist's clever use of the opera setting adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene, as if to suggest that the drama off-stage is just as captivating as that on-stage. This intriguing snapshot of history is an excellent example of the social and cultural dynamics of the time, highlighting the importance of reputation, the power of the press, and the often contentious relationships between artists and the public. The cartoon, entitled "Mrs. Weldon to Monsieur Gounod," is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these two influential figures and the complex world they inhabited.
