"Protectionist: A Historical Perspective on Trade Policies" This collection of colourful lithographs and engravings offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of protectionism, an economic ideology that has shaped trade policies throughout history. Starting with "John Bulls Fireside, " we see a depiction of the British nationalist symbol, John Bull, suggesting his inclination towards protecting domestic industries from foreign competition. This sentiment is further emphasized in the "Anti-free trade postcard, " which highlights opposition to liberalized trade. In "John Bulls International Dumping Ground, " we witness the fear of foreign goods flooding domestic markets at lower prices, potentially harming local businesses. The accompanying caricature of Mr A Bonar Law adds a touch of humor to this serious issue. Moving on to cartoons, "Mrs Gamp Taking the Little Party. . Back to School" portrays protectionism as a means to safeguard national interests and preserve traditional values. Meanwhile, in "A Bit of Animated Nature, " we encounter the concept policies being compared to natural instincts for self-preservation. "Our Joes Happy Family - the Greatest Show on Earth" presents protectionism as an entertaining spectacle while subtly highlighting its controversial nature. In contrast, "The Protectionist Cuckoo in the Hedge Sparrows Nest" suggests how protectionist measures can disrupt established systems and harm smaller players within an economy. "The Protection 'Dodge'" sheds light on various strategies employed by proponents and critics alike when it comes to implementing or circumventing protective measures. It serves as a reminder that economic policies are often subject to manipulation and political maneuvering. Another lithograph titled "Protectionism" captures both positive and negative aspects associated with this ideology – shielding domestic industries but potentially limiting global cooperation and growth opportunities. "The Political Fish Wife" provides satirical commentary on politicians using protectionism for personal gain rather than genuine concern for their constituents' welfare. Lastly, in "Foreign Manufacturers Twisting the Lions Tail. How Long Will He Stand It.
