The Reform Bill, 1866 - A Satirical Glimpse into Parliamentary Business
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by renowned artist John Tenniel, we are transported back to the year 1866, where the atmosphere is charged with anticipation and frustration. Depicting Mr. and Mrs. John Bull, symbolic figures representing the people of Britain, dozing over their newspapers in a state of "frantic excitement". Tenniel humorously captures the public's disinterest in the full and dull details of parliamentary debates on the question of reform. As we observe Mr. Bull attempting to read about Mr. Gladstone's government determination but succumbing to sleepiness, and Mrs. Bull starting to delve into Mr. Locke King's explanation only to fall asleep herself, even their faithful British bulldog joins in with his snores while reading about Mr. Lowe's quotes. This satirical portrayal sheds light on the perceived monotony of political affairs during that era while highlighting society's weariness towards reforms being discussed at length without tangible action. Tenniel masterfully uses allegorical figures alongside everyday objects like clothing and furniture to convey a sense of relatability within this political context. Through his intricate engravings and clever composition, Tenniel invites us to reflect upon both our own historical past as well as timeless themes such as politics, power dynamics, and societal fatigue - making this print an enduring piece that continues to resonate today.
