EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cartoon on Queen Victoria" by Achille Lemot takes us back to 1899, a time of great turmoil and conflict. The artwork depicts a vivid nightmare filled with more battles, bloodshed, and gold. Lemot's caricature of Queen Victoria is portrayed as a powerful figure in military attire, symbolizing the British Empire's dominance during that era. The image showcases various elements representing different regions affected by colonialism. From Africa to Australia and Oceania, each area is depicted through symbols like an Egyptian crown, an English horseman, and a French bed. These elements highlight the global impact of imperialism during Queen Victoria's reign. The artist skillfully uses color to convey the intensity of this dream-like scene. Shades of gray dominate the background while splashes of vibrant colors draw attention to important details such as jewels and coins representing wealth and greed. Lemot's engraving captures not only the physical battles but also alludes to the internal struggle for power within Victorian society. The moon shining above signifies hidden desires while Cupidite (greed) lurks nearby, further emphasizing themes of ambition and materialism. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of colonialism during Queen Victoria's rule - from its devastating effects on native populations to its insatiable thirst for power and riches.
