EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of British patriotism and defiance during the Napoleonic era. Titled "John Bull fighting the French single-handed" it showcases John Bull, a personification of England, taking on multiple French adversaries with remarkable strength and determination. In this hand-colored etching, John Bull is depicted as a formidable figure, rapping a French soldier on the head with a cudgel while simultaneously stomping on a French officer beneath his right foot. With his left foot, he kicks out the French nobility, symbolizing their expulsion from England back to France. The artist behind this powerful image is P. F. L. B. , whose detailed engraving technique brings each character to life. The print measures 19.2 x 29.9 cm (border) and portrays an important moment in history when Britain stood against Napoleon's forces. This artwork evokes nostalgia for bygone eras and celebrates British heritage and resilience. Its retro-styled design adds to its charm as an antique piece that reflects Victorian art culture and illustrative techniques. As part of the Liszt Collection, this historic artwork represents traditional values and serves as a reminder of past struggles overcome through courage and national pride. It embodies old-fashioned romanticism while capturing the spirit of a significant period in European history.
