An Unexpected Cut, 1874. Artist: Joseph Swain
An Unexpected Cut, 1874. With a felled tree entitled Irish Established Church behind him, Mr Gladstone, the Liberal Leader of the Opposition, prepares to take his Pamphlet axe to the tree carved with Papal Infallibility. Mr Punch watches. This relates to the anti-Papal leaflet on Vatican Decrees recently published. Only the previous month, he had written an article on Ritualism and his opposition to it. This came as a surprise, as many had previously believed that Gladstone was secretly attracted to ritual. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 21, 1874

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "An Unexpected Cut, 1874" we witness a powerful political satire brought to life by the talented artists Joseph Swain and John Tenniel. The scene unfolds with Mr Gladstone, the Liberal Leader of the Opposition, standing before a felled tree labeled Irish Established Church. Armed with his Pamphlet axe, he prepares to strike at another tree adorned with the words Papal Infallibility. Observing this unexpected act is none other than Mr Punch himself. The image serves as a commentary on recent events surrounding an anti-Papal leaflet on Vatican Decrees published just prior. Surprising many who believed Gladstone secretly favored ritualism, his opposition to it becomes evident through this symbolic act of chopping down religious ideologies that contradict his own beliefs. Amidst the political turmoil of 19th century Britain, this engraving captures both the tension and humor prevalent in satirical cartoons of that era. With meticulous detail and masterful execution, Swain skillfully portrays Gladstone's determination while Tenniel's signature touch adds depth to each character's expression. As viewers delve into this thought-provoking artwork from Heritage Images' collection, they are transported back in time to witness not only a historical moment but also gain insight into one man's unwavering commitment to his principles amidst conflicting expectations.
