EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage engraving titled "Mr. and Mrs. Bull Reflecting on the Taxes" we are transported back to a domestic scene set in a bygone era. The romantic ambiance is palpable as a man and woman sit at opposite ends of an elegantly arranged table, adorned with tea, ale, and port for their consumption. Mrs. Bull appears to be expressing her dissatisfaction with Mr. Bull's tendency towards guzzling, perhaps referring to his indulgence in alcoholic beverages. Her disapproving gaze meets his nonchalant expression as he replies, "But if I can't beat Bonny without it - why I must do as well as I can". This intriguing response hints at the challenges they face together, suggesting that Mr. Bull may rely on these libations for courage or strength.
