The Death of the Property Tax! Or 37 Mortal Wounds for Ministers & the Inquisitoral Commissioners
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful political cartoon from 1816, created during a time of significant economic and political upheaval in Britain. The image, published in March of that year, depicts a heroic Henry Brougham, a prominent Whig politician and reformer, teaming up with the symbolic figure of John Bull and the British lion (Leo Britannicus) to attack a monstrous hydra representing the property tax. The hydra, a mythological creature with multiple heads, symbolizes the complex and burdensome nature of the property tax, which was a major source of contention and frustration for the British public at the time. As Brougham, John Bull, and the British lion deliver their mortal blows, Mr. Tierney, another prominent Whig politician, encourages Britannia to rise, signifying the people's determination to overcome the tax and restore economic prosperity. In the background, we see the Regent, Liverpool, Castlereagh, and Vansittart hastening up a slope with a sign-post pointing to "Economy." These figures, who were key political players during this period, are shown scrambling to keep up with the progress being made in defeating the property tax. The cartoon's title, "The Death of the Property Tax! Or 37 Mortal Wounds for Ministers & the Inquisitoral Commissioners!", underscores the public's frustration with the government and its handling of the tax issue. Overall, this powerful and evocative image reflects the political climate of the time and the determination of the British people to bring about change.
