EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the renowned English poet, in a playful and humorous light. Drawn in pen and ink, the image dates back to 1892, and was likely created several decades after Tennyson's time. The poet is shown with a quill in one hand, symbolizing his literary prowess, and a shield in the other, alluding to his knighthood in 1865. The intriguing title "Hornet" accompanies the caricature, suggesting a connection to Tennyson's nickname or perhaps a reference to his sharp wit and stinging verses. The image also features Tennyson in a more unconventional setting, as he is shown astride a horse and engaged in a medieval-style jousting match. This unexpected combination of a Victorian poet and a medieval knight adds an element of whimsy and intrigue to the caricature. The horse, with its exaggerated features and expressive eyes, further enhances the playful tone of the illustration. Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born on August 6, 1809, in Somersby, Lincolnshire, England. He is considered one of the greatest poets in the English language, and his works include "In Memoriam A.H.H.", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", and "The Lady of Shalott". Tennyson served as the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1850 until his death in 1892. This caricature offers a unique and entertaining glimpse into the life and legacy of this literary giant.
