Our Siamese Twins, 1869. Mr Gladstone was the new Prime Minister following 1868s late General Election. One of his first acts was to start preparing for the disestablishment of the Irish Church.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Our Siamese Twins, 1869" artist John Tenniel skillfully captures the political climate of the time. The year marked a significant moment in British history as William Ewart Gladstone took office as the new Prime Minister after a late General Election in 1868. One of his first actions was to prepare for the disestablishment of the Irish Church, causing widespread concern among many who feared that it would lead to similar attempts against the English Church. In this allegorical depiction, Mr. Gladstone is seen preparing to sever the bond between these two Churches while an anxious Mr. Bull watches closely. Published in Punch, or the London Charivari on February 13th, 1869, Tenniel's cartoon serves as a satirical commentary on religion and politics during that era. The image showcases not only Tenniel's artistic prowess but also his ability to convey complex ideas through visual representation. The monochrome engraving adds depth and intensity to this thought-provoking piece. As we delve into this heritage image partnership with print collector1, we are reminded of how art can serve as a powerful tool for social commentary and historical documentation. This print immortalizes an important moment in British history and allows us to reflect upon the intricate relationship between religion, politics, and society during the nineteenth century.
