EDITORS COMMENTS
Running into Danger! (colour litho) captures the chaotic and humorous scene of a speeding train hurtling towards danger in 19th century Britain. This satirical cartoon, dedicated to the esteemed Benjamin Disraeli, was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on September 5,1868. The vibrant color lithograph showcases Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan's artistic talent as he skillfully depicts a caricatured locomotive racing at full steam ahead. With reckless abandon, the driver ignores warning signals and risks perilous consequences while driving with utter disregard for safety. This scathing satire not only pokes fun at the political climate of the time but also highlights societal attitudes towards progress and risk-taking. As trains revolutionized transportation during this era, their speed and power became symbols of both excitement and potential danger. Morgan's illustration cleverly combines elements of politics, religion, and social commentary. The inclusion of Disraeli suggests a critique on his conservative government's policies or perhaps even his leadership style. Additionally, references to Ireland's Church of Ireland add another layer to this multifaceted artwork. Through its witty composition and sharp humor, Running into Danger! serves as a reminder that progress should be tempered with caution. It invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of recklessness while offering an entertaining glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with railways.
