Take Away that Bauble! or, What it Must Never Come to
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and satirical color lithograph by Matthew "Matt". Somerville captures the essence of political humor in 19th century Ireland. Titled "Take Away that Bauble! or, What it Must Never Come to" this artwork is a scathing satire dedicated to Mr. Rearden, a prominent Member of Parliament at the time. Published in The Tomahawk magazine on June 13,1868, this illustration showcases a demanding caricature pointing towards an exaggerated crown symbolizing power and authority. With its liberal undertones, the cartoon pokes fun at British politicians and their perceived arrogance. Somerville's clever use of humor highlights the tensions between Irish and British politics during this period. The artist skillfully depicts Denis Joseph Rearden as a central figure in this political circus while also incorporating elements of German culture with references to Germany and Europe. The intricate details within the print demonstrate Somerville's mastery of his craft. From the expressive facial expressions to the meticulously drawn background elements, every aspect contributes to creating an engaging visual narrative. This piece offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era politics through its witty commentary and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists used their talent to challenge authority and provoke thought among their audience.
