EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE, 1813. Brother Jonathan Administering a Salutary Cordial to John Bull" offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of early America during the War of 1812. Created by Amos Doolittle, a renowned American cartoonist of that era, this piece is rich in symbolism and satire. The image portrays an amusing scene where Brother Jonathan, representing the United States, is administering a salutary cordial to John Bull, symbolizing Great Britain. The cordial being offered is Perry cider, cleverly referencing Oliver Hazard Perry's victory over the British fleet at Lake Erie on September 10th, 1813. Doolittle's use of humor and wordplay adds depth to this artwork. By punning on Perry's name with pear cider (Perry), he not only celebrates the American triumph but also mocks their English counterparts in an entertaining way. Through this print, Doolittle captures the spirit of victory and national pride felt by Americans during this significant battle. It serves as both a historical document and a satirical commentary on international relations at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand collection, let us appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting upon its historical context.
