EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon captures the intense rivalry between two influential figures of the Victorian era: General William Booth, the charismatic founder of the Salvation Army and its publication, The War Cry, and Henry Labouchere, the Liberal MP and owner-editor of The Truth. The image, published on September 29, 1883, depicts Booth, with a stern expression, counting money from a petty cash box, while Labouchere, with a smirk, peeks over his shoulder, commenting, "I hope I don't intrude, General, but -- touching that petty cash!" The Salvation Army, established in 1865, was a Christian evangelical movement that aimed to provide social services and spiritual salvation to the poor and destitute. The War Cry, its weekly newspaper, was an essential tool for spreading the organization's message and raising funds. Labouchere, on the other hand, was a prominent Liberal politician and journalist known for his sharp wit and biting satire. The Truth, his weekly publication, was a popular and influential newspaper that often targeted the Salvation Army and its leaders with scathing criticisms. The cartoon highlights the intense media competition between the two publications and the personal animosity between their leaders. It also reflects the broader social and political climate of the time, where the press played a significant role in shaping public opinion and influencing political debates. Despite the rivalry, both The War Cry and The Truth played essential roles in shaping the public discourse of the Victorian era, with each publication reflecting the values and perspectives of their respective audiences. This cartoon offers a glimpse into the complex and dynamic world of Victorian media and the intense rivalries that drove it.
