EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon from 1867, titled "Where is Britannia?" takes a humorous jab at the invisible monarchy of Britain during that time. The image features a comical scene with symbols of British royalty such as the crown, robe, throne, and sceptre all present but noticeably missing one key figure - Britannia herself. Instead, we see a perplexed lion looking around for the iconic personification of Britain.
The artist behind this clever piece uses wit and irony to comment on the state of affairs within the monarchy during this period in history. Through their playful depiction, they highlight the absurdity or perhaps even invisibility of Britannia's influence or presence within the political landscape.
As we gaze upon this historical print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back to a time when satire was used as a tool for social commentary and critique. The intricate details and symbolism woven throughout the artwork invite viewers to ponder on themes of power, authority, and national identity.
In today's context, "Where is Britannia?" serves as a reminder of how art can be used to challenge conventional narratives and provoke thought about our past and present realities. It stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of political cartoons in shaping public discourse through creativity and imagination.
