Measurable Distance, 1881. Artist: Joseph Swain
Measurable Distance, 1881. Mr John Bull, the representative of the British people is the owner of the ship which the pilot, Prime Minister Gladstone, is attempting to steer into safe harbour. In the background can be seen the various hazards that have been encountered along the way, and the contentious Land Bill is looming. This bill proposed to implement fair rents which would be assessed by a semi-judicial procedure. This would, however, represent a larger measure of interference with private property in Ireland than had previously been the case. From Punch, or the London Charivari, March 12, 1881

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Measurable Distance, 1881" by Joseph Swain captures a significant moment in British political history. The image portrays Mr John Bull, symbolizing the British people, as the owner of a ship being steered into safe harbor by Prime Minister Gladstone, depicted as a pilot. In the background, various hazards encountered along the way are visible, while looming in the distance is the contentious Land Bill. The Land Bill proposed fair rents to be assessed through a semi-judicial procedure. However, this measure represented an unprecedented level of interference with private property in Ireland at that time. The cartoon-like caricature and satire employed in this engraving from Punch magazine on March 12th, 1881 highlight both the complexity and controversy surrounding this bill. The black and white monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this nineteenth-century artwork's historical significance. Created by renowned artists such as John Tenniel and Joseph Swain under William Ewart Gladstone's influence during his tenure as prime minister, it serves as a testament to their artistic prowess. This heritage image partnership between creators like Swain and collectors like Print Collector1 preserves an important piece of political commentary from that era. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon not only past transportation methods but also on how politics has shaped society throughout history.
