The Peoples Guide! or, the man with the Muck Rake
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph by Matthew "Matt". Somerville. Created in 1867 for The Tomahawk magazine, this illustration captures the essence of scandalous media practices prevalent during the nineteenth century. In this humorous allegory, we see a caricatured man standing amidst a sea of newspapers and wielding a muck rake. Symbolizing the gutter press and its obsession with sensationalism, he seems oblivious to an angelic figure above him holding a crown. This juxtaposition highlights how the pursuit of scandalous stories can distract from more noble pursuits. Somerville's clever use of satire criticizes not only fake news but also political corruption and manipulation within British society. The cartoon-like style adds an element of light-heartedness to an otherwise scathing critique. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in Victorian times, media played a significant role in shaping public opinion. It prompts us to reflect on our own consumption of news today and encourages us to question the credibility and motives behind what we read. "The Peoples Guide! or, the man with the Muck Rake" stands as both a historical artifact reflecting nineteenth-century journalism practices and as timeless commentary on media ethics that remains relevant today.
