EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Rule Britannia, 1882" captures the essence of political satire during the late 19th century. Created by Edward Linley Sambourne, a renowned caricaturist of his time, this engraving showcases an allegorical figure representing Britannia herself. In this satirical depiction, Britannia is depicted as unsure about her jurisdiction over the proposed Channel Tunnel. Standing amidst a group of workmen with tools in hand, she appears to be contemplating whether or not she has authority over this ambitious project that would connect Britain and France. The artist's clever use of symbolism is evident through the inclusion of a pickaxe held by one of the workers. This tool represents both physical labor and progress towards bridging two nations together. Through this image, Sambourne highlights the complexities surrounding national identity and sovereignty during that era. With its monochrome aesthetic and intricate details, this print serves as a historical artifact from the 19th century. It offers us a glimpse into societal attitudes towards occupation and international relations at that time. Preserved by Heritage Image Partnership, this artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its thought-provoking commentary on power dynamics between countries.
