Cartoon and Song for the Throng: A Glimpse into the International Exhibition of 1862 Amidst the bustling streets of Victorian London, in the sweltering summer of 1862, the Great International Exhibition was in full swing. This grand event, held from May to October, brought together the finest creations from across the globe, showcasing the latest advancements in science, technology, and art. This print, titled "Cartoon and Song for the Throng," offers a humorous and satirical take on the throngs of visitors who flocked to the exhibition each day. The image depicts a man and a woman, dressed in the fashion of the era, making their way through the crowded halls. The man, with a determined expression, clutches a map in one hand and a top hat in the other, while the woman, with a weary look, holds onto her parasol and tries to keep her skirt from being trampled. The title of the print, "Cartoon and Song for the Throng," suggests that this was not just a visual representation of the scene but also a versified one. The "throng" refers to the large crowd of people, and "versification" implies that there was a song or poem accompanying the cartoon. The print's satirical tone pokes fun at the chaos and excitement of the exhibition, capturing the spirit of the time. The International Exhibition of 1862 was a great success, attracting millions of visitors from Britain and abroad. This print serves as a charming reminder of the event and the unique blend of humor and culture that defined the Victorian era.
