EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Victimised Citizen" by an unknown artist, was published in 1884 and is a poignant commentary on the spirit of charity and benevolence during the late Victorian era. The image depicts a weary and downtrodden John Bull, a symbol of the British people, reaching into his pocket to give change to Old Father Christmas, who approaches with a cadger's expression. The scene takes place in December of 1884, and the caption "Here comes that cadger, Old Father Christmas, again!" adds a sense of frustration and exhaustion to the image. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the expectations placed on individuals during the holiday season to give generously to those in need. The image of Old Father Christmas, who is often associated with giving and goodwill, being portrayed as a cadger or beggar, highlights the complexities of charitable giving and the potential for exploitation. The 1880s were a time of significant social and economic change in Britain, and this cartoon reflects the tensions and challenges of the era. The image invites us to consider the motivations behind charitable giving and the power dynamics at play in the relationship between the giver and the receiver. This intriguing cartoon, which is part of the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on the history of charity and benevolence during the late Victorian era. It invites us to reflect on the enduring themes of giving and receiving, and the complexities of human nature that underpin these fundamental aspects of our society.
