Coming Down!!!, 1882
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. The artwork, created by Joseph Swain and featured in Punch, or the London Charivari on April 8th, 1882, portrays an intriguing clash between politics and architecture. In this satirical engraving, we see the imposing statue of the Duke of Wellington mounted on his horse gazing down at Mr Shaw Lefevre, a Member of Parliament (MP). Lefevre can be seen energetically waving a Notice of Removal towards the Iron Duke. The reason behind this confrontation lies in planned improvements to Hyde Park that would necessitate relocating the iconic statue. The image is rendered in monochrome black and white tones which add depth and intensity to its message. It serves as both a caricature and satire piece from the 19th century, highlighting political tensions surrounding architectural changes within royal locations. Joseph Swain's skillful execution brings out every detail with precision while John Tenniel's collaboration adds another layer of artistic brilliance to this heritage image partnership. Together they capture not only the essence of this historic event but also evoke emotions related to power dynamics and preservation of monuments. This print stands as a testament to Arthur Wellesley's legacy as the first Duke of Wellington - known as "the Iron Duke" - while shedding light on political struggles faced by MPs like Mr Shaw Lefevre during that era. It serves as an important reminder of how art
