A Couple of Js
EDITORS COMMENTS
: Sir John Voce Moore and Joseph Chamberlain Entering the House of Commons in 1900 This print depicts a significant moment in British political history, with Sir John Voce Moore, Serjeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons, leading Joseph Chamberlain, then Colonial Secretary, into the House of Commons in 1900. The image, created by the renowned caricaturist Francis Carruthers Gould, is a testament to the pomp and ceremony that accompanied political proceedings during this era. Sir John Voce Moore (1826-1904), an English businessman and the Lord Mayor of London in 1898, is shown in his full regalia as the Serjeant-at-Arms, complete with a bicorn hat adorned with ostrich plumes, a red robe, and carrying the ceremonial Mace. Chamberlain, wearing a top hat, follows closely behind, looking focused and determined. Gould's caricature, titled "A Couple of Js," cleverly plays with the similarity of their names and the double entendre of "Js." The artist's use of exaggerated features and expressive body language adds a touch of humor and levity to the image, making it a fascinating snapshot of the time. The print also highlights the importance of tradition and ceremony in British politics, as Sir John Voce Moore carries out his duty of leading the Colonial Secretary into the House of Commons. This image serves as a reminder of the historical significance of these figures and the roles they played in shaping the political landscape of the late 19th century.
