EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and satirical cartoon print, titled "Sir Edward Robert Sullivan, Common-sense in politics" captures the essence of political commentary during the late 19th century. Created by Carlo Pellegrini for Vanity Fair on June 13,1885, this colour lithograph offers a scathing satire on the state of politics at that time. The central figure depicted is Sir Edward Robert Sullivan, a prominent politician of his era. Pellegrini's caricature portrays him with a mix of wit and mockery, highlighting his supposed common sense in navigating the complex world of politics. The artist's skillful use of color and exaggerated features adds depth to this biting portrayal. Through this artwork, Pellegrini invites viewers to reflect upon the role of common sense in political decision-making. The cartoon serves as both an entertaining piece and a critical commentary on the political landscape during that period. Now part of a private collection within Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection, this print stands as a testament to the enduring power of political satire. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to provoke thought about timeless themes such as leadership and rationality. As we observe "Sir Edward Robert Sullivan, Common-sense in politics" we are reminded that art has long been used as a tool for social critique—a reminder that resonates even today.
