EDITORS COMMENTS
Fishing for Coronets! (colour litho) by Matthew 'Matt' Somerville captures the whimsical and satirical essence of 19th-century British humor. This vibrant print, part of a private collection, showcases the artist's talent for caricature and his keen eye for political commentary. Published in The Tomahawk on August 17,1867, this illustration takes a lighthearted jab at the social and political climate of the time. With its clever use of costume and exaggerated features, it pokes fun at women's roles in society as well as British politics. The image depicts a woman dressed in Victorian attire using a fishing rod to catch coronets instead of fish. It is both humorous and thought-provoking, highlighting the absurdity of power dynamics within British society during that era. Somerville's skillful execution brings life to each character portrayed in this satirical cartoon. The attention to detail in their expressions and clothing adds depth to the narrative while showcasing his mastery as an illustrator. This piece not only serves as entertainment but also offers insight into historical events through visual storytelling. Its enduring relevance makes it an intriguing window into 19th-century Britain's culture, politics, and sense of humor.
