Our Joe's Dream
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour litho print that delves into the world of political satire. Created by Harry Furniss in the late 19th century, this artwork depicts Joseph Chamberlain, the Leader of the Opposition at that time, immersed in a dream-like state. The image showcases Chamberlain driving a chariot pulled by various animals symbolizing different dominions of the British Empire. The postcard serves as an anti-free trade statement, highlighting Chamberlain's policy of Imperial Preference. It cleverly portrays his ambition and protectionist stance through allegorical figures such as lions representing Britain's strength and tigers signifying its economic power. Additionally, a moose and kangaroo represent Canada and Australia respectively. Furniss' satirical drawing captures Chamberlain asleep while dreaming of implementing tariff reforms to protect British industries from foreign competition. The ostrich depicted next to him represents those who ignore or dismiss these protectionist ideas. This scathing satire reflects the prevailing debates on free trade versus protectionism during that era. Through this artwork, Furniss presents an insightful commentary on British politics and economics at the time. The Fine Art Finder print allows us to appreciate Furniss' artistic skill in creating this thought-provoking piece. With its vivid colours and intricate details, "Our Joe's Dream" continues to be relevant today as it reminds us of historical struggles between different economic ideologies within nations like Great Britain.
