Art and Artists – Sir John Tenniel (attrib) – illustrator of Alice in Wonderland an original cartoon entitled The Great Trick Act’ executed in watercolour on paper laid to a larger card album leaf bearing the cartoon text and also original photographs of the evangelists Moody and Sankey. An intriguing image. This conforms exactly in content title and wording to the engraved cartoon which appeared in Punch on July 4th 1874 – which carries Tenniel’s monogram and also the name of the engraver Joseph Swain. It would appear therefore that this is the original watercolour image from which Swain made his engraving – though this watercolour image does not carry his signature or his monogram. The subject of the cartoon is Disraeli newly elected riding the horse of state dressed as a fairy godmother. In the foreground is a clown identified as Mr Wittler who represents the breweries who had given Disraeli their backing. Standing with a ringmaster’s whip in his hand is a figure identified as ‘Mr Cross’ representing the church which was against any advantages being given to the breweries. The fact that the album leaf contains the original photographs of evangelists Moody and Sankey suggests that ‘Mr Cross’ might have been an amalgam of the two.
