The Juggernaut of the Turf - A Satirical Masterpiece from the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Juggernaut of the Turf" a remarkable colour lithograph created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville in the late 1800s. The artwork, part of a private collection, originally appeared in The Tomahawk magazine on June 15,1867. With its humorous and satirical undertones, this piece combines elements of Greek mythology and British politics to deliver a scathing critique. Depicting a chariot race scene with exaggerated caricatures, it cleverly mocks politicians and political events of that era. In this vibrant illustration, we see an English driver skillfully maneuvering his chariot while cracking his whip. Behind him stands an imposing juggernaut representing Germany's influence in Europe during that time. With great wit and irony, Somerville portrays German culture as overpowering and crushing other European nations under its weight. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition—every character conveys distinct personality traits through their facial expressions and body language. This satirical cartoon serves as both entertainment and social commentary for Victorian readers. "The Juggernaut of the Turf" remains relevant even today as it highlights timeless themes such as power dynamics between nations and political satire. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection ensures that this exceptional piece continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide.
