EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "QUEEN VICTORIA CARTOON. New Crowns For Old Ones!" by John Tenniel is a powerful representation of the political climate in 1876. Depicting Queen Victoria adorned with a turban and surrounded by men, it symbolizes the unpopularity of Benjamin Disraeli's measure to add the title of Empress of India to the royal titles. The cartoon serves as a commentary on British colonialism and its impact on India during the late Victorian era. It highlights the tension between England and its colony, showcasing how adding new crowns (titles) does not address or solve deeper issues within their relationship. Through his artistry, Tenniel captures both the strength and vulnerability of Queen Victoria as she navigates this controversial decision. The inclusion of women in this image suggests that they too are affected by political actions taken by men in power. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect on themes such as imperialism, politics, and anti-colonial sentiment prevalent during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small decisions can have far-reaching consequences for nations and individuals alike. Overall, this historical cartoon offers valuable insight into an important chapter in British history while raising questions about power dynamics, cultural identity, and national pride.
