A Question of Supply, 1884. Artist: Joseph Swain
A Question of Supply, 1884. John Bull, the representative of the British people, tells the Duke of Richmond quite plainly that the proposed Cattle Bill should first and foremost give protection to the thin, poorly dressed woman staring in at the butchers window, but unable to afford to pay the high prices of meat out of the meagre purse she is holding. The Bill had been passed to the Lords and their amendments were made in order to protect the interests of the wealthy landowners. From Punch, or the London Charivari, March 29, 1884

A Question of Supply, 1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and thought-provoking print by Joseph Swain that captures the social issues prevalent in 19th century Britain. The image portrays John Bull, symbolizing the British people, confronting the Duke of Richmond about the proposed Cattle Bill. Swain's artwork emphasizes the importance of protecting vulnerable members of society, represented by a thin and poorly dressed woman peering into a butcher's window. The print highlights the stark contrast between those who can afford to purchase meat at high prices and those who struggle with poverty. The woman's meager purse signifies her inability to meet these inflated costs. Meanwhile, amendments made to the bill favor wealthy landowners rather than addressing this pressing issue. Through clever caricature and satire, Swain criticizes legislation that fails to prioritize societal welfare over economic interests. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of how laws can perpetuate inequality if they do not consider all segments of society. Swain collaborates with renowned artist John Tenniel in creating this monochrome masterpiece for Punch magazine in March 1884. Their collaboration brings attention to gender disparities as well; highlighting women's struggles during an era when their rights were often overlooked. This heritage image partnership print offers us a glimpse into history while raising questions about justice and compassion within legislative frameworks. It reminds us that even today we must strive for equitable solutions that protect all members of our society from systemic disadvantages like poverty and limited access to basic necessities such as food.
