John Bull Gets a New Suit: A Satirical Commentary on the Dramatic Rise in Population as Demonstrated by the 1901 Census This intriguing photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a humorous moment in British history as John Bull, the personification of England, gets measured for a new suit by his tailor. The image is a satirical commentary on the dramatic rise in population that was revealed in the 1901 Census. The plump figure of John Bull, with his rosy cheeks and jovial expression, is a symbol of the British community, representing the strength and prosperity of the nation. However, his increasing size in this photograph is a reflection of the growing population, which had reached a record high of over 38 million people by the turn of the century. The tailor, with his measuring tape and scissors, is diligently taking John Bull's measurements for a new suit. The hips of John Bull are particularly expansive, emphasizing the need for a larger size. This scene is a playful representation of the challenges that came with managing a rapidly growing population, as resources and infrastructure were stretched to their limits. The 1901 Census was a significant historical event that provided valuable insights into the demographic makeup of the British population. It revealed trends in population growth, migration, and social structure, and was a crucial tool for policymakers and social reformers. This photograph, with its satirical take on the census data, offers a unique perspective on this important moment in history. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful commentary on the dramatic rise in population that was revealed by the 1901 Census. It is a reminder of the importance of historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
