A Radical Reformer, i.e. A Neck or Nothing Man!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and provocative political cartoon by George Cruikshank, published by Thomas Tegg in London on September 17, 1819. This engraving captures the heightened political tensions and fear of revolution in Britain during the aftermath of the Peterloo Massacre. The cartoon depicts a terrifying figure, a flame-belching guillotine monster wearing the cap of French revolutionaries, threatening the leaders of the nation. With a menacing cry of "I'm coming! I'm coming!" the monster looms over the British political establishment, promising to make those troubled with money "easy." In the foreground, the Prime Minister, Lord Liverpool, is shown falling over a bag of money, while Lord Castlereagh, Foreign Secretary, expresses his unease, "Och! by the powers! I don't like the looks of him at all, at all!" On the right, the Prince Regent, who has lost his wig, is comforted by Eldon, the Lord Chancellor, who reassures him, "Never mind, so long as your head's on!" This chilling image reflects the widespread anxiety among the British elite regarding the potential for radical political change, as well as the growing discontent among the working classes. The cartoon's title, "A Radical Reformer," is a double-edged term that could refer both to those advocating for political reform and to the violent revolutionaries who sought to overthrow the established order. This evocative and thought-provoking print is an essential piece of early modern British political history, offering a unique insight into the tumultuous political climate of the time.
