Something for Paddy, 1864. Artist: John Tenniel
Something for Paddy, 1864. Daniel O Connell says: Its a Repaler ye call yourself, ye Spalpeen, and you re goin to Die for the Union. On the right in this cartoon is the statue of the late Daniel O Connell. O Connell was the Irish leader in the Commons, and known as the Liberator. He was the founder in 1839 of the Repeal Association agitating for the dissolution of the union between Ireland and Britain. Here, a particularly simian representative of the Irish working population is preparing to emigrate to the States in order to earn better wages fighting for President Lincolns cause. Behind Lincolns mask, however, Death is lurking in wait. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 20, 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century cartoon print titled "Something for Paddy, 1864" we are transported to a moment of political tension and allegory. The scene depicts the Irish leader Daniel O'Connell confronting an emigrant representative from Ireland, who is dressed in traditional straw hat and carrying his belongings. O'Connell accuses him of betraying their cause by joining President Lincoln's fight for the Union during the American Civil War. The statue of O'Connell stands tall on the right side, symbolizing his legacy as the Liberator and founder of the Repeal Association. Behind President Lincoln's mask, however, lurks Death itself, hinting at potential dangers awaiting those who choose to travel across oceans to fight in foreign wars. The full moon shines ominously overhead, casting an eerie light on this satirical caricature that criticizes both British rule over Ireland and Irish emigrants blindly supporting causes abroad. The monochrome engraving adds depth to this thought-provoking image while capturing the essence of fear and alarm felt by those contemplating such journeys. Created by renowned artist John Tenniel for Punch magazine in August 1864, this print serves as a reminder of historical events intertwined with politics and human aspirations. It offers us a glimpse into a complex era where personal choices intersected with national struggles for freedom and identity.
