EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Next Disestablishment, 1871" depicts an allegorical representation of the concept of justice and law during the 19th century. Created by renowned artists Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, this artwork showcases Justitia removing the Jury Box while Hibernia, symbolizing Ireland, remains silent without protest. The image alludes to a significant historical event where William Ewart Gladstone successfully fought for and achieved the disestablishment of the Irish Church. This accomplishment raises questions about whether dismantling the British legal system would be next on his agenda. Through this thought-provoking cartoon from Punch, or the London Charivari magazine published on November 25,1871, viewers are invited to reflect upon political dynamics and liberal party ideals prevalent during that era. The presence of women in positions of power is also highlighted as Justitia stands tall as a female figure representing justice. As we delve into this heritage image partnership between Swain, Tenniel, and Gladstone himself – who played a crucial role in shaping British politics – we gain insight into their perspectives on social change and reform. This print serves as both a testament to their influence and an intriguing glimpse into nineteenth-century society
