EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "State of the English Nation [Toestand der Engelsche Natie]," dates back to the late 18th century and is an intriguing example of anonymous artistic expression. The allegorical image depicts the British Isles personified as a sleeping figure, with the English lion and the English cow representing the aristocracy and the common people, respectively. The Dutch eagle ship and the French rooster symbolize the commercial interests of the Netherlands and France, respectively, and their potential threats to England during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Admiral Earl Howe, a prominent British naval commander during this period, is depicted as a figure standing guard, holding a flagship's ensign. The allegory conveys the idea that the English nation, represented by the sleeping figure, is being held back by the aristocracy, symbolized by the English lion, and the common people, symbolized by the English cow, while external forces, such as commercial interests and foreign powers, pose threats. The print, which is believed to be a caricature or a political commentary, showcases the artistic skill and cultural sensibilities of the time. Its engraving technique adds to its antique charm and historical significance. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition, offering a unique perspective on the political and social climate of the 18th century, particularly during the American Revolutionary War.
