EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "OREGON BOUNDARY, 1846. Ridiculous Exhibition. . " captures a satirical English perspective on the Oregon boundary dispute in 1846. This political cartoon, created during the Victorian era, humorously depicts the ongoing argument between America and England over territorial claims in the Northwest region. In this comical scene, we see two men representing Brother Jonathan (a personification of America) and John Bull (symbolizing England) engaged in an absurd confrontation. Brother Jonathan is portrayed as a wild tamer struggling to control a ferocious lion labeled "Manifest Destiny" symbolizing America's desire for westward expansion. Meanwhile, John Bull stands confidently with his crown atop his head, mocking Brother Jonathan's futile attempts at controlling the situation. The cartoon emphasizes the English view that America's ambition for territorial acquisition was excessive and ridiculous. This artwork not only reflects the tension surrounding the Oregon boundary dispute but also serves as entertainment for viewers of that time period. It highlights both countries' competing interests while providing amusement through caricatured representations of their respective national identities. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artifact from 1846, allowing us to delve into this significant moment in American history and gain insight into how it was perceived by others around the world.
