EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled 'The Dreadful Story about Primrose and the Gee-Gee: Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, 1st Earl of Midlothian, triumphantly emerging from the ashes, while Hugh Price Hughes and Labby Labouchere, two formidable adversaries, weep in defeat, dates back to 1899. The late 19th century political landscape of Britain was marked by intense rivalries and heated debates, and this Francis Carruthers Gould cartoon masterfully captures the essence of the struggle between Rosebery, a Liberal statesman and Prime Minister, and his two formidable opponents, Hughes, a Methodist divine and Radical MP, and Labouchere, a prominent Liberal MP. The cartoon's title, 'The Dreadful Story about Primrose and the Gee-Gee,' alludes to the popular children's book 'Struwwelpeter,' adding a whimsical touch to the serious political commentary. In this image, Rosebery is depicted as a phoenix, rising from the ashes, symbolizing his resilience and triumph over his adversaries. The two politicians, Hughes and Labouchere, are shown as cats, with tears streaming down their faces, as they watch their nemesis emerge victorious. This powerful and intriguing image offers a glimpse into the political climate of the late 19th century and the intense rivalries that shaped British politics during this period.
