EDITORS COMMENTS
BELFAST RIOTS, 1872. Jeddo and Belfast; or, A Puzzle for Japan". This print captures a significant moment in history - the Catholic-Protestant riots that engulfed Belfast, Ulster in August 1872. The image is a cartoon by John Tenniel from Punch magazine, dating back to the late Victorian era. The scene depicted showcases the tension between two worlds: Ireland and Japan. In this thought-provoking artwork, we witness an intriguing juxtaposition of cultures as a Japanese fan-waving gentleman stands alongside an English archbishop wearing his distinctive Canterbury hat. These men symbolize their respective nations during this tumultuous period. The artist's clever use of satire prompts us to ponder the complexities of religious conflicts and cultural clashes that plagued societies at that time. Through this lens, Tenniel presents Belfast as a perplexing puzzle for Japan - hence the title "Jeddo and Belfast; or, A Puzzle for Japan". As we delve into history through this photograph, it serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only moments but also social commentary on global events. This particular piece sheds light on the unrest faced by Irish Catholics and Protestants during one fateful month in 1872. Granger Art on Demand provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon our past while appreciating artistic expression at its finest – all within the confines of our own space.
