What The Nation Hopes Soon To See, 1863. Artist: John Tenniel
What The Nation Hopes Soon To See, 1863. On 8th January 1864, the New Year was celebrated by the birth of a son, Albert Victor, afterwards Duke of Clarence, to the Prince and Princess of Wales. Punch marked the event with one of the journals most grisly poetic efforts, beginning with Twinkle, twinkle, little Star/Thats precisely what you are, and going on to say, How I long to see thee toddle/And to kiss thy pinky noddle!. The cartoon, less revoltingly, simply depicts Queen Victoria, still in full mourning more than two years after the death of her beloved Albert, holding the new Royal baby. From Punch, or the London Charivari, January 23, 1864
