EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Bottoms Dream (Republicanism)" from the year 1872, offers a satirical commentary on the political climate of the time, drawing inspiration from William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." In this image, the working-man Nick Bottom, with a determined look in his eyes and a top hat adorned with the stars and stripes, declares, "I have a dream... I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream - it hath no Bottom!" The scene is set against the backdrop of the Victorian era, with Mr. Punch, a symbol of mischief and chaos, appearing as Puck, the fairy, and Robin Goodfellow. The political undertones of this cartoon are clear, as the idea of "Republicanism" is presented through the lens of democracy and the power of the people. The use of Shakespeare's classic work adds an intriguing layer to the satire, as the characters of Bottom and Quince are transformed into political figures. Bottom, representing the common man, aspires to have his dreams and ideas shared through the power of the press, symbolized by Quince's role as a writer and publisher. The cartoon's title, "Bottoms Dream," is a clever play on words, as it not only refers to Nick Bottom but also alludes to the collective dreams and aspirations of the people during this period. The image, filled with political satire and wit, is a testament to the power of art in commenting on the societal and political issues of its time.
