EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving by Sir John Tenniel, titled "What will he do with it?" captures the essence of a society grappling with the moral dilemma of how to allocate resources. The image depicts a peasant holding out his hand in desperation, while a looming figure representing power and wealth stands before him, clutching a bag labeled "Russian loan."
The caption beneath the illustration reflects the hope that some portion of this substantial loan might be used for humanitarian purposes rather than fueling further conflict and war preparations. It serves as a poignant reminder of the stark disparities between those who hold economic power and those who suffer from poverty and hardship.
Tenniel's satirical drawing is filled with symbolism, from the weary expression on the peasant's face to the cold indifference of the figure holding onto the bag of money. The contrast between their positions speaks volumes about societal inequality and questions our collective responsibility towards alleviating suffering.
As we reflect on this thought-provoking artwork, we are compelled to consider our own roles in shaping a more just and compassionate world. What will we do with our resources? Will we choose greed or generosity? The answer lies within each one of us.
