EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, titled "Britannia, a Presentiment," dates back to September 1891 and was created by the renowned British satirist, Terry Parker. The cartoon depicts Britannia, the personification of Britain, seated on a wall overlooking the sea with a worried expression on her face. She clutches her helmet, shield, and trident tightly, suggesting a sense of impending danger. The title "a Presentiment" hints at the rumors and uncertainty that were circulating during that time. The late Victorian era, marked by political instability and international tensions, may have influenced Parker's creation of this allegorical figure. The cartoon's setting, with Britannia's back turned to the city and her gaze fixed on the sea, suggests that external threats were a cause for concern. The image of Britannia, with her helmet and shield, is a common allegory for the defense and protection of the British people. The cartoon was published in a serious comic or journal, likely reflecting the gravity of the situation and the need for vigilance. The image of Britannia, with her helmet and shield, has become a powerful symbol of British strength and resilience. This historical cartoon serves as a reminder of the political climate of the late 1800s and the ongoing anxieties that shaped the era.
