EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Busy B's" from The Struwwelpeter Alphabet is a remarkable piece of art that beautifully captures the essence of its time. Created by Francis Carruthers Gould, this colour lithograph showcases three prominent figures in British history - Sir Redvers Henry Buller, Field Marshall Lord Roberts of Kandahar, and Lord Charles Beresford. Dressed in their distinguished military uniforms, these men exude power and authority. The artist skillfully combines satire and caricature to create a thought-provoking image that reflects the political climate of the late 19th century. The accompanying verse by Harold Begbie adds another layer of depth to this artwork. It serves as a commentary on the characters depicted, highlighting their achievements and perhaps even poking fun at their larger-than-life personas. As we delve into this print, we are transported back in time to an era filled with ambition, conflict, and societal change. It reminds us of the significant role these individuals played in shaping history while also shedding light on the satirical nature prevalent during those times. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this print holds historical value beyond its artistic merits. It offers viewers an opportunity to explore not only the talent of Francis Carruthers Gould but also gain insight into British politics during that period. Overall, "Busy B's" is a fascinating visual representation that invites contemplation about power dynamics and social commentary through artistry and wit.
