EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of Rt Hon Charles Pelham Villiers (colour litho) by James Jacques Joseph Tissot takes us back to the 19th century, specifically to August 31st, 1872. This Vanity Fair cartoon captures the essence of Villiers as a fearless advocate for free trade during a time when attacking protectionist policies was considered risky. In this satirical drawing, Tissot skillfully portrays Villiers as an attacker armed with his beliefs and convictions. The caricature highlights his determination and courage in advocating for free trade before it became widely accepted. It is evident that he was ahead of his time, challenging the prevailing norms and standing up against protectionism. Villiers' influence extended beyond national borders, making him a prominent figure not only in British politics but also on the European stage. His unwavering support for free trade resonated with many across Europe, including France and its overseas departments and territories. James Jacques Joseph Tissot's artistic prowess shines through in this scathing satire. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, he brings to life the political climate of the late nineteenth century. This artwork serves as a reminder of Villiers' significant contribution to shaping economic policies during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness one man's courageous battle against protectionism—a battle that ultimately paved the way for greater economic freedom and prosperity.
