1832 Anti Attitude Cock Lost Mayor Reform Reproaches Waterloo Wellington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a moment of tension and confrontation between the Duke of Wellington and the Lord Mayor of London in 1832. Titled "Wellington Cartoon (THE WATERLOO COCK WOTs LOST HIS COURAGE - the Lord Mayor of London reproaches the Duke for his anti-reform attitude)," this image provides a glimpse into the political climate of the time.
The cartoon depicts the Duke, known for his victory at Waterloo, being reproached by the Lord Mayor for his stance against reform. The symbolism of a cock losing its courage adds an interesting layer to this exchange, highlighting the perceived weakness or lack of conviction on Wellington's part.
With intricate details and clever use of satire, this print offers viewers a window into a pivotal moment in history when debates over reform were at their peak. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Wellington faced criticism and challenges in their political careers.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a piece of art but also a valuable historical document that sheds light on attitudes towards reform during this era. It is sure to spark curiosity and conversation among those who appreciate both history and political satire.
