Gold and Iron! A Legend for the City
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of 19th-century British society. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this illustration was originally featured in The Tomahawk magazine in 1869. The image portrays a bustling boardroom filled with wealthy businessmen, politicians, and members of high society. The contrast between gold and iron symbolizes the stark divide between the privileged elite and the working class. With its humorous caricatures, this cartoon exposes corruption within Victorian politics and capitalism. Intriguingly, amidst all this political satire, we see convicts celebrating alongside their oppressors. This clever twist highlights how criminals were often seen as pawns in the game of power rather than individuals deserving genuine justice or reform. The scene is filled with revelry as people drink merrily to celebrate their profits and success. It offers a scathing commentary on excessive consumption while others suffer through hard labor or punishment. Through its witty depiction of British society's flaws, "Gold and Iron! A Legend for the City" serves as both an entertaining comic strip and a thought-provoking critique of wealth inequality during that era. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Somerville's skillful use of satire to shed light on social issues that still resonate today.
