"The Fall of the Rebel Angels" is a political cartoon by Tom Merry, published in the St Stephen's Review on July 10, 1886. This satirical work comments on the defeat of William Gladstone's Home Rule Bill, which aimed to grant Ireland self-government but was rejected by the British Parliament. The cartoon portrays Gladstone and his supporters as fallen angels, drawing a parallel to the biblical story of Lucifer's fall from Heaven, thereby criticizing their failure and casting their defeat in a dramatically negative light. Tom Merry, known for his caricatural style, uses vivid imagery and dramatic allegory to emphasize the political upheaval and the significant opposition that Gladstone faced. This cartoon is an example of how political cartoons of the period encapsulated and conveyed complex political events through allegory and symbolism, reflecting public sentiment and editorial opinion.
