Tear em At The Tuileries, 1863. Artist: John Tenniel
Tear em At The Tuileries, 1863. Eugenie says: Ah, Mon Cher Louis! Pray Don t Cram The Poor Little Fellow Any More; It is Positively Cruel. This shows Mr John Arthur Roebuck, the MP for Sheffield, wearing a labelled collar. He is sitting up and begging for humbugs from Napoleon, whose wife, Eugenie, is attempting to restrain him from cruelly overfeeding the dog, John Arthur Roebuck. This relates to a speech given by John Arthur Roebuck in the House of his recent interview with Napoleon during which the Emperor had given permission for his views to be made known to the Commons. The most important part of this was that Napoleon continued to hold the view that the Southern States of America should be recognised. John Arthur Roebuck had previously been a fierce opponent of Napoleon and was now much jeered for what was considered his display of gullibility and subservience to Napoleon. The Tear em in the title comes from John Arthur Roebucks previously widely known pugnacious attitude to perceived wrongs or criminal behaviour. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 11, 1863

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Tear em At The Tuileries, 1863" captures a fascinating moment in history. Created by artist John Tenniel, the image depicts an intriguing scene involving prominent figures of the time. In the foreground, we see Mr. John Arthur Roebuck, Member of Parliament for Sheffield, wearing a collar with his name label. He sits upright and begs for humbugs from Napoleon III while his wife Eugenie attempts to restrain him. This artwork is symbolic of a speech given by Roebuck in the House of Commons following his recent interview with Napoleon III. During their meeting, the Emperor had granted permission for Roebuck's views to be shared with Parliament. Of utmost importance was Napoleon's belief that the Southern States of America should be recognized—an opinion that sharply contrasted with Roebuck's previous stance. Roebuck's sudden change in allegiance caused him to face ridicule and accusations of gullibility and subservience towards Napoleon III. The title "Tear em" refers to Roebuck's reputation as someone who fiercely fought against perceived wrongs or criminal behavior. This image was originally published in Punch magazine on July 11th, 1863—a testament to its historical significance and cultural commentary during that era. It serves as a reminder of how political alliances can shift unexpectedly and how individuals may be judged based on their perceived loyalty or lack thereof.
