1815 Campaign Corn Duty Imported Satirical Imposition Toon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print from 1815 captures the heated campaign in Britain for the imposition of duty on imported corn. The cleverly crafted cartoon, or "toon," provides a humorous yet critical view of the events surrounding this historical moment in UK history. The artist's sharp wit is evident as they depict various figures engaging in lively debate and political maneuvering over the controversial issue of corn tariffs. The image offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of early 19th-century Britain, highlighting the tensions and divisions that existed within society at that time. Through exaggerated caricatures and witty commentary, the print sheds light on the complexities of economic policy-making and trade relations during this period. As we reflect on this piece from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of how satire has long been used as a tool to critique those in power and challenge prevailing ideologies. This particular print serves as a valuable historical artifact, offering insight into both the specific campaign for corn duties and broader themes related to governance, commerce, and public discourse. Overall, this image invites viewers to consider not only the past struggles over trade regulations but also their enduring relevance in today's globalized world.
