EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon captures a moment of playful banter between Edward, Prince of Wales, and Randolph Churchill during the late Victorian era. The image, published in the satirical magazine "Entreates" on March 22, 1884, depicts the Prince extending his hand in a gesture of friendship towards Churchill, who was a prominent British politician at the time. However, Churchill, with a mischievous grin on his face, holds up a sign that reads "Not the company," indicating that he may not approve of some of the Prince's associates. The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VII, is shown with his distinctive moustache and a formal attire, while Churchill, wearing a suit and holding a top hat, exudes an air of confidence and cheekiness. The cartoonist has cleverly captured the essence of the moment, highlighting the informal yet polite exchange between the two men. Despite the seemingly rude gesture, the exchange between the Prince and Churchill was likely a common occurrence in the world of British politics during the late 19th century. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the complexities of social etiquette and the importance of maintaining appearances, even in the face of disagreements or differences in opinion. Overall, this charming cartoon offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian politics and the relationships between its key players, providing a fascinating insight into the social dynamics of the time.
