EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Palmam Qui Meruit, Ferat" captures a vibrant and satirical scene from the 19th century. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville, this colour lithograph showcases his talent for caricatures and comic illustrations. The image was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on July 13,1867. In this humorous cartoon, we see a group of British politicians gathered around an Indian chief who is holding a peace pipe. The caption "Palmam Qui Meruit, Ferat" which translates to "Let him bear the palm who has deserved it" adds an ironic touch to the scene. The illustration cleverly reflects political tensions of the time, particularly between Britain and Germany. It depicts German soldiers listening attentively while English politicians speak with exaggerated gestures. This satirical drawing highlights the power dynamics between these nations during that era. Somerville's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of each character's facial expressions and body language. Through his artistry, he manages to capture both humor and satire within this single image. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Victorian-era politics through its witty commentary on international relations. With its combination of historical context and artistic skill, it serves as a fascinating piece of visual storytelling from the past.
