EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Punch cartoon titled "The New Lady Godiva" created by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published in Punch magazine between January and June 1861. Depicting a satirical drawing with elements of humor and wit, this engraving takes inspiration from the legendary tale of Lady Godiva. In this rendition, she is portrayed as a modern woman riding on horseback through Coventry. However, unlike the traditional story where Lady Godiva rode naked with only her long hair covering her modesty, here she is adorned with ribbons. The cartoon cleverly combines political commentary with comedic elements to create an amusing and thought-provoking piece. It offers insight into Victorian Britain's social climate while showcasing British satire at its finest. With references to German culture and politics subtly woven into the illustration, this artwork transcends borders and speaks to broader European themes. The inclusion of various animals such as horses, racehorses, ponies, shire horses adds depth to the composition while highlighting wildlife and livestock commonly found on farms. Overall, this satirical cartoon serves as both entertainment and social critique—a testament to the enduring power of political cartoons throughout history.
