EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving from 1807, we see John Bull, the personification of England, sitting comfortably at the center of a unique 'planetary system'. Surrounded by various symbolic figures representing different countries and threats, John Bull is depicted as being protected by the Royal Navy. The American Torpedo, Swiss Cheese, Spanish Puff, Dutch Frog, Corsican Comet, Russian Bear with two heads, Danish Mouse, and Italian Greyhound all look on with envy as England remains secure from invasion.
This illustration by Ansell titled 'Malignant aspects looking with envy on John Bull and his satellites or a New Planetary System' was created just after the English fleet had bombarded Copenhagen and captured the Danish fleet. At a time when Napoleon's mastery over Europe seemed almost complete, this image serves as a reminder of England's resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
The intricate details in this engraving capture not only political tensions of the time but also reflect the artist's creativity in depicting complex geopolitical relationships through visual symbolism. It is a fascinating glimpse into historical perceptions of power dynamics and national identity during this period in European history.
