The Story of Thomas a Becket. No. 2
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and humorous colour lithograph by Arthur Moreland that captures the essence of English history with a touch of comedy. This delightful print, part of the "Humors of History" series, depicts an amusing scene from the life of Thomas a Becket. In this visual comic, we see Thomas a Becket's son playfully imitating his father's serious demeanor while wearing his iconic bishop's hat. The cartoonish style adds to the lightheartedness as it pokes fun at historical figures and their legacies. Moreland's clever use of satire brings out the comical side of England's past, making this artwork an entertaining way to learn about history. The artist skillfully combines elements from different eras and cultures, including references to Gilbert and Germany, adding layers to the comedic narrative. This satirical drawing not only tickles our funny bone but also offers insights into European culture and politics during its time. With its witty caricatures and scathing satire, it serves as both entertainment and social commentary. As we gaze upon this playful piece, we are reminded that laughter has no boundaries – whether in love or in jest – transcending language barriers and uniting us all through shared humor.
