The Farmers Will-o-the-Wisp - A Satirical Reflection on Local Taxation in 19th Century England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Farmers Will-o-the-Wisp" offers a humorous and satirical take on the pressing issue of local taxation in 19th century England. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this cartoon was originally published on March 31,1849 as an illustration for Benjamin Disraeli's collection in Punch magazine. Depicting a scene filled with wit and political commentary, the image highlights the struggles faced by farmers due to excessive real property taxes imposed upon them. The caricatured figures represent various agricultural interests, humorously emphasizing their frustration through exaggerated facial expressions and body language. With its clever use of satire, this artwork sheds light on the complex relationship between politics and farming during that era. It also serves as a scathing critique of the British government's handling of taxation policies at that time. Through this print, viewers are transported back to a pivotal moment in British history when issues surrounding local taxation were hotly debated. This piece not only showcases the artistic talent prevalent during that period but also provides valuable insight into societal concerns and political dynamics within Great Britain. As part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this exceptional engraving invites us to reflect upon our own contemporary tax systems while appreciating the enduring power of political cartoons throughout history.
