The Fight for the Standard
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that captures a moment of intense political battle. This dramatic artwork, part of a private collection, depicts an intriguing prophecy made by Judy, a popular satirical magazine of its time. In this prophetic picture, created in anticipation of the upcoming reform combat in Parliament, Judy foretells the victory of the Conservative Party. Published on October 14th, 1868 - just before significant political changes were about to unfold - this engraving serves as both a humorous and insightful commentary on the state of affairs during that era. The image showcases politicians engaged in fierce combat over what appears to be a standard or flag symbolizing power and influence. Horses charge forward amidst chaos and confusion while flags flutter above them. The caricatured figures include prominent politicians such as Benjamin Disraeli, adding depth and familiarity to this satirical portrayal. With its clever blend of humor and social commentary, "The Fight for the Standard" offers us a window into historical events through artistry. It reminds us that politics has always been marked by battles for power and reform throughout centuries past. This print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection invites viewers to reflect upon how political struggles have shaped our society over time while also appreciating the artistic skill behind this piece.
