EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from the Illustrated London News, published on the 12th of February, 1853, showcases an intriguing mix of news and events from that era. The top half of the page is dedicated to the Royal Navy's Arctic expedition, with an illustration of Her Majesty's sloop Rattlesnake being fitted for the new exploration. The Rattlesnake, under the command of Captain George Nares, was one of several vessels that set sail to search for the fabled Northwest Passage and discover new territories in the Arctic region. Below the Arctic illustration, we find a lively depiction of Mardi Gras celebrations in Paris. Parisians are seen reveling in the festivities, with a large, jovial figure dressed as 'Uncle Tom' or 'Oncle Boeuf' taking center stage. This character, a common sight during Mardi Gras parades, was often portrayed as a fat ox or a jester, symbolizing the shedding of inhibitions and indulgence before the Christian season of Lent began. The bottom right corner of the page features a portrait of Digby Seymour, the Member of Parliament for Sunderland. Seymour was an influential figure in British politics during this period, and his inclusion in the Illustrated London News serves as a testament to his public prominence. This fascinating page from the Illustrated London News offers a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant world of the 1850s, showcasing Arctic exploration, Mardi Gras celebrations, and British politics all in one captivating image.
