The Looking Glass, No 12 - A Humorous Satirical Cartoon Resisting Reform
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Looking Glass, No 12" a colour lithograph created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of caning and humor during that era. Depicted within the cartoon are various figures including a dean, Chester bishop, and even The Duke of Wellington himself. They are seen wielding canes and walking sticks while attempting to administer beatings to mischievous boys who playfully evade their punishment. Waves crash around them as they comically struggle with their task. The satirical nature of this drawing is evident through its clever use of caricature and exaggerated features. It serves as scathing satire towards the reform movements prevalent at the time, highlighting resistance against changing disciplinary practices in institutions like Eton College. One cannot help but be amused by the inclusion of a frog-shaped machine labeled "Fullpots" amidst all this chaos. This whimsical addition adds another layer of humor to an already lively scene. Through its intricate details and maritime backdrop, this satirical cartoon captures both historical context and comedic relief simultaneously. It invites viewers to reflect on societal norms from centuries past while appreciating the timeless appeal of wit and laughter.
