EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "A Real Jubilee Memorial, 1887" we are transported back to Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee Year. The image captures a significant moment in history when one hundred debtors in India found themselves unexpectedly released from their financial burdens. However, there was a catch - these debts were relatively small, amounting to less than ten rupees. The cartoon-like illustration by Harry Furniss portrays a male debtor standing proudly with his arms crossed, symbolizing the newfound freedom he has gained through this jubilee concession. Surrounding him are other men who have also been granted relief from their debts. This comical depiction adds an element of lightness to what would otherwise be a serious matter. Queen Victoria herself is not directly depicted in the print but her influence is felt through the mention of her name and title as well as references to her reign. This serves as a reminder of the power and authority she held over her country during this era. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the historical ambiance of the image, transporting us back to the 19th century and immersing us in its rich heritage. Through this print, we get a glimpse into an intriguing chapter of Indian history that highlights both societal issues such as debt and Queen Victoria's role as monarch. Overall, "A Real Jubilee Memorial" by Harry Furniss offers us an insightful visual representation of an event that occurred during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee Year – one that brought unexpected relief for some
