EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satirical cartoon by George Cruikshank from 1832, titled "Source of the Southwark Water Works, or, Salus Populi Suprema Lex". The cartoon humorously criticizes John Edwards, the owner of the Southwark Water Works in London during the early years of the Industrial Revolution. Edwards gained notoriety for providing polluted water from the Thames River to the city. In this etching, Cruikshank masterfully captures both political and environmental themes. A citizen holding a trident stands beside a chalice representing polluted water, symbolizing Edwards' disregard for public health. The caricatured figure of Edwards himself is depicted as an Englishman with exaggerated features and industrial elements surrounding him. Through his artistry, Cruikshank highlights the detrimental effects of pollution on society while also criticizing those who prioritize profit over public welfare. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect our environment and ensure access to clean resources. The Granger Collection has preserved this significant artwork that reflects an important chapter in London's history. As we admire this print today, let us remember its historical context and appreciate how art can shed light on social issues that continue to resonate with us centuries later.
