Naval Reform, 1859
Naval Reform, 1859. In 1859, there was an ongoing struggle between France and Austria over Italian independence as the Italian states tried to rid themselves of despotic rulers. Britain was generally supportive of the Italian struggle but very suspicious of French involvement and intentions. Napoleon fought an only partly conclusive war with Austria to help achieve Italian independence of Austrian rule of some of its regions. Whilst Britain was not directly involved at this time, the conflicts in Europe revived fears of the possibility of war with France. Here, John Bull, the representative of the British People, is instructing First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Pakington, who has adopted the subservient posture of the shopkeeper, that the money newly allocated for improving the fleet should be well spent. From Punch, or the London Charivari, February 26, 1859

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Naval Reform, 1859" captures a pivotal moment in European history. In the mid-19th century, Italy was embroiled in a struggle for independence from despotic rulers, with France and Austria vying for control over its regions. Britain, while supportive of Italian aspirations, remained wary of French involvement. The satirical cartoon depicts John Bull, symbolizing the British people, instructing Sir John Pakington, the First Lord of the Admiralty at that time. Pakington is portrayed as a subservient shopkeeper figure while receiving guidance from Bull on how to wisely allocate funds recently allocated for improving the fleet. Published in Punch magazine on February 26th, 1859, this engraving reflects Britain's concerns about potential conflicts with France amidst ongoing European tensions. The image emphasizes financial considerations and highlights the importance of judiciously investing money into naval enhancements. Through clever allegory and caricature techniques characteristic of political satire during that era, this print offers insight into the complex dynamics between nations during this period. It serves as a reminder of how politics and finance intersected with war preparations within Europe's naval powers. Preserved by Heritage Images Partnership today but originally created by an unknown artist under Sir John Pakington's name - who later became Baron Hampton - this historical artifact provides us with valuable glimpses into past events and attitudes surrounding warfare and international relations in the 19th century.
