EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, 1st Earl of St Aldwyn (1837-1916): A Political Caricature from the Turn of the Century This political caricature, created by the renowned satirical artist Francis Carruthers Gould in 1900, depicts Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, 1st Earl of St Aldwyn in the height of his political career. Hicks-Beach, a British Conservative politician, served as Chancellor of the Exchequer twice, first in 1885-1886 and then again from 1895 to 1902. The cartoon, titled "Struwwelpeter: The Chancellor of the Exchequer's Nightmare," presents Hicks-Beach as a ghostly apparition, peering over the edge of a sinking ship, surrounded by bills and deficits. The ominous title alludes to the German children's book "Struwwelpeter," which contains morbid tales of children who suffer gruesome punishments for their misdeeds. In this context, the caricature suggests that Hicks-Beach is haunted by the financial woes he is tasked with managing. The image also features a prominent figure of William Gladstone, the Liberal Party leader, who is shown peering into the water, seemingly oblivious to the financial crisis. The contrast between the two men underscores the political divide and the perceived inadequacy of the opposition in addressing the financial challenges of the time. As a financier and statesman, Hicks-Beach's tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer was marked by his efforts to restore the UK's financial surplus after years of deficit spending. This caricature, however, offers a humorous and critical perspective on his ability to navigate the treacherous waters of British finance. This political cartoon is a testament to the rich history of British satire and the enduring role of art in reflecting and commenting on the political landscape of its time.
