Too Strong for Them! The Wolves of Economy!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of 19th-century political humor. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this illustration was originally featured in The Tomahawk magazine on May 21,1870. The artwork depicts a group of wolves representing politicians and government officials devouring the finances of Britain. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, these caricatures symbolize the voracious appetite for expenditure within the state. At the center of attention is William Ewart Gladstone, then serving as Prime Minister. He is portrayed as a liberal politician struggling to control these insatiable wolves while trying to manage the country's budget. This scathing satire reflects public sentiment towards excessive spending during that era. The artist's skillful use of color and detail brings this political cartoon to life, highlighting both its humorous nature and critical message. Through clever visual metaphors, "Too Strong for Them! The Wolves of Economy!" serves as a commentary on British politics and society at large. This print from Fine Art Finder provides us with an intriguing glimpse into Victorian-era satire while shedding light on broader themes such as economic policies, governmental power dynamics, and societal concerns. It stands as a testament to how art can effectively convey complex ideas through wit and creativity.
