EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking cartoon, titled 'Vox Populi' and published in Britain in 1867, offers a stark commentary on the social and political climate of the time. The image depicts a menacing, rough-looking working man, with a bottle in one hand and a club in the other, standing atop a barrel labeled 'Britain.' The man, symbolizing the common people or 'voice of the people,' is portrayed as a bully who must be put down, dragging the country down to his own disgusting level. The cartoon reflects the growing anxiety and fear among the ruling classes towards the working population, who were becoming increasingly restless and discontented with their living conditions. The year 1867 was a significant one in British history, as it saw the passage of the Reform Act, which extended the franchise to a larger segment of the population. This expansion of political power to the working classes was seen as a threat by some, who believed that the common people were not capable of making informed decisions and would only bring chaos and disorder. The cartoonist's use of strong, aggressive imagery and language underscores this sentiment, with the working man depicted as a mindless brute, driven by base instincts and devoid of reason. The image of the man standing on Britain, with his foot on the country's flag, further emphasizes the perceived threat he poses to the established order. Despite the negative portrayal, this cartoon also highlights the growing awareness of the need for social and political reform, and the recognition that the working classes could no longer be ignored or marginalized. The image of the working man as a bully who must be put down was a powerful one, but it also served to galvanize the forces of reform and bring about much-needed change in British society.
