Tweedledum and Tweedledee, or, The Schoolmaster [i]s abroad! 1835

John Doyle’s 1835 satirical print, “Tweedledum and Tweedledee, or, The Schoolmaster [i]s abroad!” depicts two men in exaggerated poses, their identities obscured by the title. The piece likely refers to contemporary political figures, lampooning their similar stances and contrasting appearances. Doyle, known for his political cartoons, employs sharp lines and exaggerated features to create a humorous visual effect. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Doyle's biting social commentary through the art of caricature.
