Bunker Hill - The Blessed Effects of Family Quarrels
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 1775 English cartoon print, titled "Bunkers hill, or the blessed effects of Family quarrels" offers a thought-provoking depiction of the fighting between America and Britannia during the American Revolution. The artist ascribes this conflict to the influence of Lord Bute, who is portrayed seated with his arm around Lord North. The image showcases an array of symbolic elements that shed light on the political landscape at that time. A devilish figure representing evil hovers above, while a clergyman personification observes from below. An axe and spear symbolize violence and warfare, underscoring the gravity of the situation. Intriguingly, a woman stands prominently in this scene—a representation of Britannia herself—highlighting her involvement in these family quarrels. This portrayal challenges traditional gender roles by positioning her as an active participant rather than a passive observer. Through its intricate details and clever symbolism, this engraving invites viewers to reflect on the complex dynamics underlying political conflicts. It serves as a reminder that even within families or nations considered united, disagreements can escalate into full-blown battles. Preserved in The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this historical artifact provides valuable insight into both British politics and America's fight for independence during one of history's most transformative periods—the Revolutionary War.
