EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming cartoon print from 1867 humorously depicts why the Englishman is so respected abroad. The scene captures a group of French tourists admiring an English gentleman, who embodies qualities such as chivalry, piety, and patriotism. The Englishman stands proudly with his top hat and cane, exuding an air of sophistication and respectability. The onlookers gaze in awe at the distinguished figure before them, highlighting the admiration that foreigners often have for British culture and values. This display of respect is further emphasized by the ornate curtain backdrop, adding a touch of grandeur to the scene. During the Victorian era, England was seen as a beacon of civility and refinement in Europe. Its reputation for upholding traditional values and manners made Englishmen highly esteemed among foreign nations. This cartoon playfully captures this sentiment through its exaggerated portrayal of an idealized English gentleman. As we look back on this historical artwork, we are reminded of a time when national identity played a significant role in shaping perceptions abroad. The enduring legacy of British influence continues to be felt today, making it clear why the Englishman remains so respected around the world.
