EDITORS COMMENTS
- a humorous cartoon from the late Victorian era, published on February 27, 1886. This intriguing image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a small dog wearing a muzzle, standing on its hind legs and addressing a larger man also wearing a muzzle. The man, dressed in a naval uniform, is identified as Rear Admiral Edward Field, who had recently made headlines by becoming a Member of Parliament and speaking on naval matters. The cartoon, titled "Entr'acte, Entr'acte, Cartoon, Cartoons," plays on the theme of power dynamics and the unexpected. The small, muzzled dog, traditionally a symbol of subservience, takes on the role of the speaker, challenging the authority of the larger, muzzled man. This reversal of roles adds a layer of humor and intrigue to the image. The cartoonist, Alfred Bryan, masterfully uses the medium of satire to comment on the political landscape of the late 1880s. The use of muzzles on both characters adds a visual punchline, highlighting the idea of restrained speech and the limitations of power. The cartoon's title, "Entr'acte, Entr'acte, Cartoon, Cartoons," suggests a break or interlude in the political drama, further emphasizing the role of humor and satire in commenting on the events of the day. Overall, this cartoon is a fascinating glimpse into the political and social commentary of the late Victorian era.
