EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing comparison between two privy purses, one from 1753 and the other from 1773. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the political and social landscape of Great Britain during this period. The image features a detailed illustration depicting Britannia, symbolizing British power and influence, with a child on her lap titled "the mother and child". This symbolic representation adds depth to the historical context surrounding these privy purses. Through satire and clever commentary, this artwork sheds light on the evolving role of children in politics and society. It invites viewers to reflect upon how children were perceived as both innocent bystanders and potential heirs to power. The juxtaposition of these two privy purses also highlights the changing times in British history. From 1753 to 1773, significant shifts occurred within Great Britain's political landscape that impacted not only its governance but also its relationship with Europe. Overall, this thought-provoking print captures a moment in time when politics intertwined with family dynamics. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects like purses can reveal profound insights into our past.
