The Siamese Youths - Our Own Youths
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating satirical cartoon that offers a humorous and thought-provoking commentary on the political landscape of its time. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this coloured etching showcases the talent and wit prevalent during that era. The artwork depicts two conjoined twins, symbolizing the union between politics and governance. The twins represent Sir Robert Peel, a prominent Tory politician who served as Prime Minister from 1834 to 1835 and again from 1841 to 1846. Their joined bodies cleverly illustrate the inseparable nature of politicians and their decisions. Surrounded by rats representing various political figures, including Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, who was also Home Secretary at one point in his career, this caricature highlights the cunning nature often associated with those in power. The presence of mice further emphasizes how politicians are seen as manipulative creatures. Displayed at Bullocks Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly during its time, this print undoubtedly sparked conversations about government policies and public perception. Its detailed engraving captures not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of each figure portrayed. Now preserved at City of Westminster Archive Centre in London, UK, this piece serves as a reminder of how satire can shed light on societal issues while entertaining viewers. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and political awareness within British society during the early 19th century.
