"Income Tax: A Historical Journey Through the Burdens of Taxation" From its inception in 1798, when Income Tax was first introduced as a means to fund war efforts during the Napoleonic era, to the political battles fought by Horatio C. Burchard of Illinois between 1865 and 1880, this caption delves into the intriguing history surrounding this controversial subject. The engraving titled "Crescendo; or, the tune the old cows likely to die of" from 1914 portrays an amusing take on how taxpayers felt about their hard-earned money being drained away. Similarly, "Rich Fare" depicts Lloyd George as a giant Lloyd-Gorgibuster in 1909, highlighting public sentiment towards excessive taxation. In "John Bull and Lloyd George with the 1909 Budget, " we witness John Bull's reluctance to bear new tax burdens imposed upon him. Depicted as a camel carrying heavy loads, he symbolizes society's resistance against increased taxation. Uncle Sam makes an appearance in litho form representing American perspectives on income tax. Meanwhile, "Master Bull and his Dentist" showcases how taxpayers often feel like helpless patients at the mercy of their fiscal caretakers. "The Jolly Anglers", an enchanting holiday idyll captured through engraving, reminds us that even amidst financial struggles caused by taxes, people find solace in simple pleasures. Punch cartoon presents John Bull after an attack on Income Tax - a visual representation of how individuals were affected by such impositions throughout history. The Quarterly Dunns highlights clamorous tax gatherers' relentless pursuit for revenue while Thomas Rowlandson's depiction of a Tax Gatherer from August 30th shows just how long these encounters have been part of our lives.
