The reasons given were that he was suffering from poor health and general fatigue. However, Punch considered that his popularity had begun to embarrass the Government and that his parting had been politely, but firmly sped by the British authorities.

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the historic moment when General Garibaldi arrived in Southampton during his visit to England in 1864. The artwork, created by renowned artist John Tenniel, depicts Mr Punch, dressed in a traditional toga, paying homage to the esteemed Italian general. General Garibaldi's arrival in London on April 11th was met with an overwhelming reception from millions of enthusiastic Londoners. However, his sudden departure on April 22nd raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about the reasons behind it. While poor health and fatigue were cited as official explanations, Punch magazine suggested that political pressure may have played a role. In this satirical engraving, Tenniel skillfully portrays the scene with intricate detail. From General Garibaldi's distinguished beard and attire to Mr Punch waving him off with a mix of admiration and amusement, every element adds depth to the narrative. The image not only highlights Garibaldi's significance as a key figure in Italian politics but also reflects the complex relationship between Italy and Britain during that time. It serves as a reminder of historical events that shaped both nations' histories. This remarkable black-and-white portrait encapsulates an important moment in nineteenth-century history while showcasing John Tenniel's artistic prowess. As part of Heritage Images' collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the past and appreciate significant figures like Giuseppe Garibaldi through artistry and satire.
