EDITORS COMMENTS
The hand-coloured etching titled "John Bull & his Dog Faithful" is a remarkable piece of political satire published by Hannah Humphrey in 1796. Created by James Gillray, this print offers a biting commentary on the state of England during that time. In this caricature, we see John Bull personified as a poor and maimed canine statesman burdened with various afflictions. Led by William Pitt, who assumes the body of a dog, the opposition represented by Charles James Fox can be seen barking relentlessly. Meanwhile, Charles Grey clings onto John Bull's coat tails, adding to his already strained position. This satirical artwork cleverly references the imposition of taxes on dogs and uses it as an allegory for the burdens faced by England under its political leaders. The trusty and loyal dog named Faithful symbolizes John Bull's unwavering commitment to duty despite being savaged by opposition forces. Gillray's masterful execution highlights every detail - from John Bull's wooden leg and false hand to his limping gait - emphasizing the physical toll exacted upon him. The image also features Richard Sheridan near St Paul’s Cathedral, further enriching its historical context. Overall, this engraving serves as both a scathing critique of British politics at the time and an enduring testament to Gillray's skill in capturing complex themes through visual storytelling.
