Digging His Own Grave! or, The Political Trappist
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph that captures the essence of political foolishness in 19th century Britain. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this artwork was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on August 1,1868. The image depicts a gravedigger diligently digging a grave in a cemetery, while the tombstone bears the name of Benjamin Disraeli, the Prime Minister at that time. With its clever caricatures and comic elements, this cartoon serves as scathing satire towards Disraeli's political decisions. The artist uses humor to highlight the perceived incompetence and shortsightedness of British politicians during this era. Through exaggerated features and exaggerated actions, Somerville portrays these leaders as foolish individuals who are literally "digging their own graves". This satirical drawing not only reflects the political climate of Great Britain but also showcases the power of cartoons as an effective medium for social commentary. It reminds us that even in times past, artists have used their talents to critique those in power. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection today, it serves as a reminder that political satire has always been an integral part of society. It invites us to reflect on our own contemporary politics and consider how art continues to play a vital role in holding our leaders accountable.
