EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lese Majeste - Tableau I" showcases a striking and thought-provoking cartoon from the 20th century. The image, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and originally appeared in Truth magazine on December 25,1897. The artwork depicts a scene of justice being served with a touch of satire. A British judge stands tall, holding his mace as he confronts a politician who has committed the crime of lese majeste (insulting royalty). The caricatured figures of Arthur Balfour and Joseph Chamberlain are shown under attack for their actions. Through this satirical drawing, the artist cleverly criticizes British politics and highlights issues surrounding punishment and law during the Victorian era. The scathing satire reflects upon the power dynamics between politicians and judges in Great Britain at that time. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print captures not only the essence of political commentary but also provides insight into British culture during this period. It serves as a reminder that even art can be used to express dissenting opinions about societal norms. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance while contemplating its relevance in today's world.
