EDITORS COMMENTS
The color litho print titled "John Bulls attitude to England being invaded by foreigners" captures a humorous and satirical perspective on the topic of immigration in early 20th century Britain. The postcard, created by Arthur Moreland, depicts John Bull, a personification of Great Britain, anxiously looking out at the sea as various foreign figures approach. The image reflects the concerns and fears that existed during this time period regarding an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Russia, Germany, and even America. Uncle Sam is also depicted in the scene, symbolizing American immigration to Britain. The comical portrayal highlights the anxiety felt by some British citizens towards these newcomers. Through its clever use of movement and comic elements, this artwork offers a lighthearted take on a serious issue. It invites viewers to reflect on their own attitudes towards immigration while providing entertainment through its amusing depiction of John Bull's distress. This postcard serves as both a historical document capturing public sentiment at that time and as a reminder that humor can be used to address sensitive topics. As we view this artwork today, it prompts us to consider how our own attitudes towards immigration have evolved over time while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously when discussing such matters.
