EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical and amusing mid-19th century coloured engraving titled "Which it is" captures the essence of Victorian entertainment. Created by Charles Henry Bennett, this satirical cartoon is a humorous portrayal of personalities and occupations during that era. The image depicts a witch-like woman standing in front of a lantern, casting shadows on the wall behind her. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to create exaggerated caricatures of various types of people. Each figure represents a different occupation or personality, making this print an entertaining commentary on society at the time. Bennett's artistic talent shines through in his detailed engravings, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The whimsical nature of this piece adds to its charm, as it invites viewers to laugh along with its clever satire. This satirical drawing serves as scathing satire towards societal stereotypes, poking fun at both witches and other professions simultaneously. It showcases Bennett's ability to blend wit and artistry seamlessly into one captivating composition. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to an era where humour was found even in the most unexpected places. With its vibrant colours and playful characters, "Which it is" continues to entertain audiences today just as it did over 150 years ago.
