EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cincinnatus chosen Dictator, 1852" captures a comical scene from ancient Rome. Created by artist John Leech and featured in "The Comic History of Rome" by Gilbert A. A. Beckett, this monochrome engraving takes us back to the 5th century BC. In this satirical depiction, we see Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, an esteemed statesman and farmer who was famously called upon to lead Rome during times of crisis. The image showcases the moment when Cincinnatus is reluctantly chosen as dictator by his fellow Romans. Amidst a backdrop of lush Italian agriculture, Cincinnatus stands with his oxen and plough while surrounded by a group of people eagerly awaiting his acceptance. With its humorous undertones and exaggerated caricatures, the cartoon-like style adds an amusing touch to this historical event. This artwork not only highlights the political climate of ancient Rome but also emphasizes the importance placed on agriculture in their society. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Cincinnatus were rooted in their connection to the land and its people. Through this black-and-white print, we are transported back in time to witness both the serious nature of Roman politics and the lighter side captured through satire. This piece offers viewers a glimpse into history while providing entertainment through its clever portrayal of one man's unexpected rise to power.
