Spotprent met premier Robert Peel en Joseph Hume Possibly 1845

This satirical cartoon, created by John Doyle in 1845, depicts Prime Minister Robert Peel and Joseph Hume as characters from Shakespeare’s play, "The Taming of the Shrew". It is a visual commentary on political events, with Peel as Petruchio and Hume as Katherine, demonstrating the artist’s creative use of caricature to express political opinions. The artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 19th-century satirical printmaking and offers insight into the social and political climate of the time.
