EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Jumping over the Broomstick - Measter be Yorkshire too, 1830" captures a moment of political satire and wit. Created by William Heath in 1830, this coloured engraving depicts Henry Peter Brougham, the 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux, who served as Lord Chancellor of Great Britain during that time. In this caricature, Brougham is shown mid-air, jumping over a broomstick. The image humorously alludes to his Yorkshire origins while also highlighting his role as an abolitionist and reformer. The cartoonish portrayal emphasizes his political influence and positions him as a prominent figure in British politics. Brougham's distinctive wig adds to the comical nature of the engraving, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. The bust-length composition focuses on capturing his facial expressions and gestures with intricate detail. This artwork serves as a testament to both the artist's skill in creating satirical images and Brougham's significance in British history. It offers viewers a glimpse into the political climate of early 19th-century Britain while showcasing how public figures were often depicted through cartoons during that time. Overall, "Jumping over the Broomstick - Measter be Yorkshire too" is an intriguing piece that combines artistry with political commentary to provide insight into one man's influential role in shaping British society.
