EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print by George Cruikshank, titled "Sick of the Property Tax or Ministerial Influenza" captures a satirical scene from 1816. Depicting ministers such as Vansittart and Castlereagh, the artwork humorously portrays them vomiting taxes into a large bag labeled "budget". The Prince Regent can be seen nearby, supported on crutches labeled "more money" and "increase in income" while holding rolled documents under his arms that describe some of his extravagant expenses. The engraving showcases Cruikshank's illustrative technique and Victorian art style, providing us with a glimpse into the history and culture of that era. This old-fashioned artwork evokes nostalgia for a time when political satire was prevalent in society. Through this image, we are reminded of the ongoing debate surrounding property tax and government spending. It serves as a reminder that these issues have been subjects of concern throughout history. The Liszt Collection offers us access to historic art like this one, allowing us to appreciate traditional artistic techniques and gain insight into past societal attitudes. This engraved image is not only visually captivating but also provides an intriguing commentary on politics and finance during its time.
