EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, published in 1900, depicts two influential figures of the British Empire at the turn of the century: Field Marshal Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener (1850-1916), and Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). The cartoon, created by Francis Carruthers Gould, masterfully combines political satire and visual wit. Kitchener, dressed in full military regalia, is seen holding a sword and donning a pith helmet, symbolizing his role as a military commander and his service in the Sudan and Egypt. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and determination. Across from Kitchener sits Rudyard Kipling, the renowned British author, who is depicted with a quill pen in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face. Known for his works of fiction, including "The Jungle Book" and "Kim," Kipling was a prominent figure in the literary world and a vocal supporter of the British Empire. The caricature's title, "Struwwelpeter," is a nod to Kipling's popular children's book of the same name, which was first published in 1897. The connection between the two men highlights the intertwined nature of literature and politics during this period. The cartoon's playful and humorous style adds to its appeal, making it an intriguing glimpse into the lives and personalities of these two influential figures. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the late Victorian era in Britain.
