The Late Lord Mayor! or Abraham in the Land of Promise!!!, 1813 - A Satirical Caricature of Religious Tensions in 19th Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colorful and witty print from 1813 captures a moment of political satire and religious tension during the Georgian era in Britain. Depicting Abraham King, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, advancing towards Carlton House with a large Protestant petition against Catholic emancipation, it offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics between different religious groups at that time. In this scene, we see Abraham King dressed in his elaborate costume as he is carried by his carriage towards Carlton House. Accompanied by his coachman and guarded by soldiers, he represents the strong anti-Catholic sentiment prevalent among Protestants during this period. As he approaches the door of Carlton House, a grinning servant opens one leaf but wards him off. This symbolic act highlights the resistance faced by those advocating for Catholic emancipation within British society. The artist behind this anonymous etching skillfully uses humor to convey deeper social commentary on religion and politics. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life an avenue lined with buildings and people going about their daily lives. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, this artwork serves as a reminder of past conflicts over religious freedom while also highlighting how art can be used to express dissenting opinions on important societal issues.
