A Duel in the Dark! or, A Yankee Notion
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and humorous colour lithograph capturing a scene of mischief and suspense. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville in the 19th century, this print showcases his exceptional talent for caricatures and comic illustrations. Set in the darkness of night, the image portrays a criminal figure sneaking through the streets while being pursued by an unsuspecting police officer. The exaggerated features and expressions on both characters add to the satirical nature of the artwork. The policeman's truncheon held high suggests his determination to catch the culprit, unaware of the imminent danger lurking behind him. This illustration was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on February 15,1868. It exemplifies British political satire during that era with its clever commentary on American culture and politics. Through this comical portrayal, Somerville highlights perceived notions about Americans as menacing or unaware figures within society. The artist's use of vibrant colours brings life to every detail, from the intricate architecture lining the street to each character's distinctive attire. This satirical cartoon not only entertains but also serves as a scathing critique of societal norms and stereotypes prevalent at that time. With its blend of wit, creativity, and social commentary, "A Duel in the Dark! or A Yankee Notion" remains an intriguing piece that reflects both historical context and artistic brilliance.
