EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and satirical print that captures the weariness and exhaustion of politicians in the nineteenth century. The cartoon, created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville Morgan, depicts a scene during parliament recess where the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, is seen fast asleep on a luxurious bed. The artist cleverly uses caricature to exaggerate Disraeli's tiredness, portraying him with disheveled hair and his mouth wide open in slumber. The image reflects the general sentiment towards politicians at that time - overworked and in need of rest. This satirical drawing was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on August 8th, 1868. It offers scathing commentary on the state of politics in Britain during this period. With its witty portrayal of exhausted politicians taking advantage of their break from parliamentary sessions, it serves as both entertainment and social critique. The detailed illustration showcases Victorian-era furnishings with an upholstered bed as the centerpiece. This attention to detail adds depth to the artwork while also providing insight into domestic life during that time. "At Rest! (colour litho)" remains an intriguing piece of political satire from the nineteenth century. Its timeless themes of fatigue and political humor continue to resonate today, making it a captivating addition to any art collection or historical study.
