EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "To Him Pudel, Bite Him Peper" is a remarkable piece of English Civil War propaganda from the 17th century. The artwork showcases two dogs engaged in a fierce battle, symbolizing the conflict between the Roundheads and Cavaliers during this tumultuous period in history. On the left side of the print stands Poodle, representing the parliamentary forces known as Roundheads. On the right side is Pepper, embodying the royalist Cavaliers. The intense dog fight depicted here serves as a metaphor for their ongoing struggle for power and control. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical aggression but also conveys a deeper message through this propagandist image. It reflects how both sides were willing to go to great lengths to defend their beliefs and ideologies. As an important historical artifact, this woodcut was likely used in broadsheets or pamphlets circulated at that time to influence public opinion. Its purpose was to rally support for one faction over another by portraying them as valiant defenders or ruthless attackers. Now preserved in a private collection, this woodcut offers us a glimpse into an era marked by political turmoil and ideological divisions. It reminds us of how art has long been employed as a powerful tool for shaping public sentiment and disseminating propaganda throughout history.
