EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Foreign Manufacturers Twisting the Lions Tail. How Long Will He Stand It?" by Harry Furniss depicts a powerful allegorical figure of Great Britain, personified as a lion, enduring the relentless pressure from foreign manufacturers. This thought-provoking colour lithograph serves as an anti-free trade postcard, conveying a strong message about protectionism and its impact on British industry. In this satirical drawing, the lion symbolizes Britain's economic strength and national pride while being tormented by various animals representing foreign competitors. The artist skillfully captures the anguish and anxiety felt by British industries due to free trade policies that allow foreign manufacturers to exploit their markets without facing comparable tariffs or restrictions. Through this scathing satire, Furniss highlights the fear of losing domestic industries and jobs to international competition. The image evokes a sense of urgency in questioning how long Britain can endure such economic pressures before succumbing to irreparable damage. This artwork is not merely a political cartoon but also an artistic representation of societal concerns during that period. Its detailed caricatures and symbolic elements make it both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating for viewers. "Foreign Manufacturers Twisting the Lions Tail. How Long Will He Stand It?" offers us insight into historical perspectives on economics, politics, protectionism, and national identity. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from our private collection, we are reminded of the complex interplay between global trade dynamics and individual nations' aspirations for self-sufficiency in an ever-changing world economy.
