EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking historical print titled "Britannia and her Pets" captures the essence of British imperialism in the late 19th century. The image features Britannia, a symbol of Great Britain, standing proudly alongside her loyal companions - the British lion and the Indian tiger. Together, they are depicted as being ready to take on Afghanistan, showcasing the imperialistic ambitions of the time.
The juxtaposition of these powerful animals with Britannia represents the strength and dominance that Britain believed it held over its colonies during this period. The inclusion of the Indian tiger also highlights India's role as a significant part of the British Empire at that time.
Created in 1885, this cartoon-style illustration provides a glimpse into the political climate and attitudes towards imperialism during Queen Victoria's reign. It serves as a reminder of Britain's colonial past and its desire to expand its influence across various regions around the world.
Overall, this print is not just a piece of art but also a reflection of history - shedding light on how power dynamics were played out through visual representations like this one. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important piece for us to reflect upon and learn from today.
