Do You Know: Where the name "John Bull" comes from? (colour litho)
8668148 Do You Know: Where the name "John Bull" comes from? (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Where the name "John Bull" comes from? It is generally accepted that a work written by a Scottish physician, John Arbuthnot (1667-1735), was responsible for the name "John Bull". Arbuthnot wrote of political affairs in Europe, and the fanciful character he drew showed John as a plain-dealing honest fellow, courageous and rather hot-tempered; a somewhat difficult person to deal with, especially under coercion, but when treated kindly one that could be easily persuaded. There was a John Bull in real life who lived in the 16th century, and he was regarded as the composer of "God Save the King" - the melody is supposed to have been found amongst his papers after decease.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph print titled "Do You Know: Where the name 'John Bull' comes from?" delves into the origins of a beloved British symbol. The character of John Bull, depicted as a stout and patriotic figure, has long been associated with England and its values.
The name "John Bull" is said to have originated from a work by Scottish physician John Arbuthnot in the 18th century. Arbuthnot's portrayal of John Bull as an honest, courageous, and sometimes hot-tempered individual resonated with the public, making him a popular figure in political cartoons and literature.
In this image, we see John Bull standing proudly with his iconic top hat and Union Jack waistcoat. His stern expression conveys strength and determination, reflecting the resilience of the British spirit.
It is fascinating to learn that there was indeed a real-life John Bull in history who was believed to be the composer of "God Save the King." This connection between folklore and reality adds depth to our understanding of national identity.
As we gaze upon this vintage cigarette card illustration from 1939, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of John Bull as a symbol of English pride and tradition. His presence continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia and patriotism for generations to come.
