EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The English Bulldog and the Corsican Bloodhound - after the Battle of Waterloo" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Piercy Roberts in 1895, this satirical cartoon depicts Napoleon Bonaparte as a dog being bitten on the buttocks by John Bull, symbolizing England. Published in London in June 1815, shortly after the Battle of Waterloo, this print captures the essence of victory for England over France. The English bulldog represents strength and resilience while the Corsican bloodhound personifies Napoleon's defeat. Roberts' clever use of animals as allegorical figures adds depth to this historical satire. The image serves as a reminder of how art can convey complex political messages through symbolism. It also highlights the power of cartoons as tools for social commentary during that era. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it transports us to a time when Europe was embroiled in conflict and nations vied for supremacy. It reminds us of Napoleon's ambitions and his ultimate downfall at Waterloo. "The English Bulldog and the Corsican Bloodhound" is not just an illustration; it is a visual representation of history itself. Its inclusion in John Grand-Carteret's book "Napoleon in Pictures" further solidifies its significance within historical literature. This print serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to reflect on past events while appreciating Roberts' skillful craftsmanship.
