EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "JUBILEE CARTOON, 1887. The British Lion Prepares for the Jubilee" takes us back to a significant moment in history - Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations marking her 50th year on the throne. Created by renowned English cartoonist Sir John Tenniel in 1887, this allegorical artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and cultural climate of late Victorian England. In this whimsical scene, we find ourselves in an opulent bedroom adorned with a dresser and mirror. The personification of the British Lion stands proudly, symbolizing the strength and power of the nation. Dressed impeccably in a coat, bow tie, hat, and vest embellished with Union Jack motifs, he exudes regality fit for such an important occasion. The attention to detail is remarkable as we notice every element carefully placed within the frame: from hairbrushes to slippers neatly arranged nearby. The lion's reflection can be seen in the mirror behind him - perhaps representing self-reflection during this commemoration. With a mischievous smile adorning his face and his majestic mane flowing gracefully around him, it is evident that our protagonist is eagerly preparing for Queen Victoria's jubilee festivities. This delightful cartoon captures both humor and reverence towards this historic event. As viewers engage with this timeless piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, they are transported back to an era filled with grandeur and national pride while contemplating the enduring legacy of
