EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous engraving captures the comical scene of Mrs Gamp, a character from Charles Dickens' novel "Martin Chuzzlewit" taking the little "party" she looks after back to school. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this satirical cartoon is part of Benjamin Disraeli's collection featured in Mr Punch magazine. In this amusing illustration, Mrs Gamp can be seen leading a group of mischievous children towards their educational institution. The exaggerated expressions on their faces and playful antics suggest that they are not particularly eager to return to their studies. With her distinctive bonnet and apron, Mrs Gamp exudes authority as she tries to maintain order among her lively charges. The political undertones become apparent when considering that this artwork was published during a time when protectionist policies were prevalent in Britain. The cartoon cleverly uses humor and satire to comment on the political climate of the era. This print showcases British wit at its finest, with its sharp social commentary and clever caricatures. It serves as both entertainment and critique, highlighting the absurdities of politics while providing amusement for viewers. Displayed within a private collection today, this engraving continues to captivate audiences with its timeless humor and artistic skill. Its portrayal of Mrs Gamp's struggle with unruly children offers a lighthearted glimpse into Victorian society while reminding us that even amidst serious matters like politics, laughter remains an essential aspect of life.
