EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful cartoon from the 1880s captures the playful spirit of politics during the late Victorian era, as depicted in "The Northampton Tandem Tricyclists" by an unknown artist. The image features two Liberal MPs, Henry Du Pre Labouchere and Charles Bradlaugh, both representing the constituency of Northampton. The tandem tricycle, a popular mode of transport for the time, symbolizes the unity and teamwork required in politics. Henry Du Pre Labouchere, a prominent figure in Liberal politics, is shown pedaling at the back of the tricycle, while Charles Bradlaugh, an atheist and advocate for women's suffrage, takes the lead. Bradlaugh's controversial views often put him at odds with his political peers, making this lighthearted depiction of the two MPs riding together all the more intriguing. The cartoon's title, "Entr'acte," suggests a break or interlude between more serious political events. The image is a reminder that even in the midst of political debates and disagreements, there was room for levity and camaraderie. The 1880s were an important period in British politics, with significant reforms and advancements, including the Secret Ballot Act and the Married Women's Property Act. This charming cartoon offers a glimpse into the personalities and dynamics of the politicians of the time, providing a unique perspective on the political landscape of the late Victorian era.
