EDITORS COMMENTS
Westminster - the Two Shilling Butcher, satire on the 1747 general election depicting Lord Trentham, candidate for the constituency of Westminster, and his supporter, the Duke of Cumberland, 1747 (engraving) captures a moment in history when political campaigns were filled with humor and wit. This intriguing print from the 18th century showcases a satirical cartoon that pokes fun at Lord Trentham's bid for office. In this artwork by English School, we see Lord Trentham portrayed as a butcher holding two shillings while being supported by none other than the Duke of Cumberland. The exaggerated features and comical expressions add to the overall whimsical nature of this piece. The engraving is part of Joseph Grego's book A History of Parliamentary Elections and Electioneering from the Stuarts to Queen Victoria. It provides us with an insightful glimpse into how elections were conducted during that era. The attire worn by both figures reflects their social status and adds another layer to their caricatures. The artist cleverly uses clothing as a symbol to highlight their roles in society. This print not only serves as a historical document but also reminds us that politics has always been intertwined with humor and satire. It invites viewers to reflect on how election campaigns have evolved over time while still retaining some elements of entertainment.
