John Bull Reading the Extraordinary Red Book
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-colored etching on ivory wove paper created by the renowned English artist, William Elmes, in 1816. This allegorical masterpiece, published by Thomas Tegg, depicts the iconic symbol of England, John Bull, deeply engrossed in the pages of an unusual, red book. The image was published on June 20, 1816, and is a testament to the artistic school of the time, showcasing the skillful use of color and intricate detail. John Bull, a personification of England, is depicted as a sturdy, middle-aged man, dressed in traditional British attire, including a monocle and a tricorn hat. His face is contorted with anger and rage, as he reads the contents of the book, which is titled "Extraordinary" and seems to be causing him great distress. A speech bubble emerges from his mouth, filled with exclamations of disbelief and outrage. The red book, an allegory for the turbulent state of British politics and society during the time, is a symbol of the unusual and unexpected events that were unfolding in the country. The image is a satire of the public's fascination with the latest news and the emotional response it elicited. The print is a powerful commentary on the concept of anger and its impact on the British people, reflecting the tumultuous political climate of the time. It is a testament to Elmes' artistic skill and his ability to capture the mood and sentiment of the era through his caricatures and parodies. This allegorical work of art is now a part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a prestigious art center and gallery, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and the enduring power of art to reflect and comment on the human condition.
