The Loving Cup, 1872. Artist: Joseph Swain
The Loving Cup, 1872. Mr Bull shares a Loving Cup with Colombia. This cartoon relates to the ongoing Alabama dispute, brewing since the end of the American Civil War. Eventually, the matter was settled by arbitration in Geneva. Representatives from Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, Britain and the US were unanimous in finding Britain liable for damages caused by the Alabama. Claims relating to the Florida and the Shenandoah were also settled. The US was awarded the sum of $15, 500, 000 (£ 3, 100, 000) in full and final settlement. This was considerably less than the £ 10, 000, 000 requested by the US. John Bull hopes that the matter is now finally concluded and that both countries can put it behind them. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 28, 1872

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Loving Cup, 1872" we witness a significant moment in history as Mr Bull and Colombia share a Loving Cup. This powerful cartoon is deeply intertwined with the long-standing Alabama dispute that has been brewing since the end of the American Civil War. After years of tension, the matter was finally resolved through arbitration in Geneva. Representatives from Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, Britain, and the United States unanimously found Britain liable for damages caused by the Alabama. The settlement also included claims relating to the Florida and Shenandoah. To put an end to this prolonged conflict, the US was awarded $15,500,000 (£3,1000,000) as full and final settlement – significantly less than their initial request of £10 million. John Bull fervently hopes that this resolution will mark a conclusive conclusion to these disputes between both nations so they can move forward together. This monochrome image captures not only historical significance but also symbolizes concepts such as peace and foreign affairs. It showcases allegorical figures representing America's resilience during its war-torn past while highlighting British involvement through ships like Alabama. As we delve into this 19th-century masterpiece by Joseph Swain from Punch magazine (or London Charivari), it serves as a reminder of how diplomacy can ultimately prevail over conflicts rooted in politics and foreign policies.
