EDITORS COMMENTS
A Capital Levy," we witness a heart-wrenching moment as a little girl, with tears streaming down her face, cradles the remnants of her beloved doll. The cause of her distress? None other than her mischievous and notoriously destructive canine companion, Bonzo. With a gleeful expression, Bonzo stands by, the culprit holding the severed head of the doll in his jaws. Study's masterful use of satire and metaphor transforms this scene from a simple tale of childhood heartache into a political commentary. The title "A Capital Levy" alludes to the economic concept of a capital levy, a tax on an individual's wealth or assets. In this context, Bonzo's destructive behaviour can be seen as a representation of the unpredictable and often devastating effects of economic policies. Despite his bad behaviour, Bonzo's presence in the print adds a touch of endearing humour. The print captures the essence of the canine character's mischievous and destructive nature, while also highlighting the emotional impact of his actions. The use of the word "Capital" in the title further emphasizes the historical and cultural significance of Studdy's work, as Bonzo was a beloved character in British popular culture during the early 20th century. This print is a poignant reminder of the unintended consequences that can arise from economic policies, as well as the enduring power of childhood memories and the emotional bonds we form with our cherished possessions."
