Hobsons Choice Reception - A Family Affair at the Zoo,
EDITORS COMMENTS
1880s. This cartoon print, created by Terry Parker and held in the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a humorous glimpse into the world of Victorian politics during the late 1800s. The image depicts a lively reception taking place at the zoo, where prominent politicians of the era have gathered for an entertaining event. At the center of the scene, we find Alfred Lord Tennyson, the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, wearing a top hat and looking intently at a monkey in its cage. To his left, we see William E. Gladstone, the Liberal Party leader, and Charles Bradlaugh, a prominent freethinker and secularist, engaged in a heated discussion. In the background, other politicians, including the Conservative Party leader, Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Marquess of Salisbury, and Liberal politician, Joseph Chamberlain, can be seen mingling with their colleagues and enjoying the festivities. The monkey, with its bars and cage, serves as a symbol of evolution and the natural world, perhaps a reminder of the ongoing debates surrounding the theory of evolution during this time. The cartoon's title, "Hobsons Choice Reception," likely refers to a situation where an individual is forced to choose between two unpalatable options, highlighting the political tensions and complexities of the era. This delightful print not only offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Victorian politicians but also showcases the unique blend of humor and social commentary that characterized the political cartoons of the time.
