A Man wot has got a good understanding although A Great Calf!, 1833
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon print created by John Doyle. The portrait features Sir Frederick Shaw, an Irish politician and member of parliament for Dundalk during the 19th century. In this caricature, Doyle humorously highlights the concept of attractiveness in men during that era. According to some sources, the calf was considered the most appealing part of a man's body. To enhance their calves and appear more muscular, some individuals even used calf enhancers hidden in their socks. The artwork showcases Shaw dressed in typical British attire, wearing a frock coat and hat. His full-length profile allows us to see his prominent leg with an exaggerated calf muscle - hence the title "A Man wot has got a good understanding although A Great Calf!". Doyle's satirical approach not only pokes fun at societal beauty standards but also provides commentary on politics and politicians of that time. Through clever wit and artistic skill, he captures both Shaw's physical appearance and his role as a statesman. This lithograph print was published by Thomas McLean in London in 1833. It serves as a testament to Doyle's talent as both an artist and political commentator, offering viewers insight into the cultural norms and perceptions prevalent during this period in Britain.
