Our Amateur Politicians
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edmund Blampied: A Glimpse into the 1930s Political Landscape Edmund Blampied's satirical print "Our Amateur Politicians," created in 1934, offers a humorous yet insightful look into the British political scene of the 1930s. The image captures a group of men engaged in animated conversation at a pub bar, with one man holding up a campaign poster and asking, "Me? Vote for him? Oh dear, no!" The man's disapproval is evident as he points to the poster, which features a candidate with astrakhan hair and a cross-eyed expression, whose views, the man suggests, lack conviction. In the foreground, a newspaper seller engages a passerby, extolling the virtues of a different candidate, "A gentleman for me, every time, sir - but not this fellow." The candidate in question is identified by the letters "ES," suggesting that he may be a member of the Labour Party, which was led by Ramsay MacDonald at the time. The newspaper seller's description of ES as a candidate for "comb[ing] out the air ministry," "parting with the House of Lords," and "air-waving the nivy" (a reference to the Neville Chamberlain, who would later become prime minister) highlights the political turmoil and instability of the era. Blampied's print offers a glimpse into the working-class political consciousness of the time, with ordinary people expressing their opinions and criticisms of the political landscape. The print's satirical tone and use of humor serve to highlight the complexities and nuances of British politics in the 1930s, making it an invaluable historical document. This print is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online, offering researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the past a wealth of visual resources to explore.
