EDITORS COMMENTS
Forewarned: John Bull and the Zeppelin - 1914 (A Warning from the Past: John Bull confronts the ominous Zeppelin, "The Fat Boy": "I wants to make your flesh creep!"; John Bull: "Right O!") This cartoon print, dated 1914, depicts the iconic British symbol, John Bull, standing resolute in his garden, confronting a menacing Zeppelin looming overhead. The caption reads, "Forewarned: John Bull and the Zeppelin," a clear indication of the impending danger and the need for preparedness. John Bull, a symbol of British national identity, is typically depicted as a stout, jovial figure wearing a top hat and carrying a walking stick. In this illustration, he is shown with a determined expression, ready to defend his homeland. The Zeppelin, known as "The Fat Boy," is depicted as a sinister and ominous figure, with its menacing shadow stretching across the landscape. The year 1914 marked the beginning of the First World War, and the use of Zeppelins as weapons of war was a new and terrifying development. These rigid airships, filled with hydrogen gas, were capable of carrying bombs and could fly over enemy lines undetected, making them a formidable threat. This cartoon serves as a stark reminder of the fear and uncertainty that gripped the world during this time. The image of John Bull facing off against the Zeppelin is a powerful symbol of defiance and determination in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and fortitude of the British people during a time of great upheaval and change. The cartoon also highlights the importance of being prepared and vigilant in the face of new and unknown threats.
