EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Punch cartoon: Frederick Settle Barff, English chemist" takes us back to the Victorian era with its satirical depiction of a renowned scientist. Created by Edward Linley Sambourne in 1882 for Punch magazine, this comic illustration showcases the humorous side of British culture. The central figure is Frederick Settle Barff, an English chemist known for his contributions to food preservation. With a mischievous grin on his face, Barff is portrayed as both a cook and a professor, highlighting his expertise in chemistry and culinary arts. The artist cleverly captures the essence of Barff's scientific achievements by including references to boro glycerine, one of his notable inventions. Surrounded by various kitchen utensils and ingredients, Barff stands proudly in his laboratory-like kitchen setting. This portrayal not only emphasizes the importance of science in everyday life but also reflects the fascination with scientific advancements during that time. Through this satirical cartoon, Sambourne offers viewers a glimpse into Victorian society's obsession with progress and innovation while injecting humor into their daily lives. It serves as a reminder that even esteemed scientists like Barff were not exempt from being subjects of playful caricature. This historical artwork provides us with an amusing insight into British culture and reminds us that even serious matters can be approached with lightheartedness.
