EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white satirical electioneering card from 1761 captures a significant moment in British politics. The print features two prominent figures of the time, the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Holland, portrayed as foxes. This clever caricature highlights their cunning nature and political maneuvering during an election. The image is part of a collection published in Parliament Past and Present by Arnold Wright and Philip Smith around 1905. It offers a glimpse into the historical context surrounding this period, showcasing how political satire was used to comment on power dynamics within parliament. Both men depicted in the print played influential roles in British politics. Thomas Pelham-Holles, also known as the Duke of Newcastle, served as Prime Minister twice during his career. Henry Fox, or Lord Holland, was a prominent Whig politician who held various government positions. The artist behind this piece remains unknown but skillfully captured the essence of these politicians through their animalistic portrayal. The foxes symbolize their slyness and strategic thinking often associated with political figures. This print serves as a reminder that political satire has long been employed to critique those in power. It invites viewers to reflect on past elections while drawing parallels to contemporary politics.
