EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph print titled "Rich Fare, Lloyd George as the Giant Lloyd-Gorgibuster" captures a satirical representation of David Lloyd George, the influential politician of his time. Created by Bernard John Partridge in 1909, this artwork depicts Lloyd George personified as the giant from the fairy tale Jack & the Beanstalk. At that time, Lloyd George was faced with the daunting task of finding funds to support the Old Age Pensions Act introduced in the Budget of 1908. As Chancellor of Exchequer and later Prime Minister, he implemented new taxation measures on various sectors including building sites, death duties, tobacco, land, licensing, minerals and incomes. This cartoon from Punch magazine humorously portrays him as a towering figure burdened with radical reforms and social policies. The image highlights his role in advocating for income tax and state-financed welfare programs while simultaneously attacking wealthy individuals or plutocrats who resisted such changes. Partridge's caricature cleverly combines political satire with comic elements to convey both criticism and admiration for Lloyd George's innovative approach towards social reform. This print serves as a reminder of an era marked by significant political upheaval where politicians like Lloyd George were at the forefront of implementing progressive policies aimed at improving society. This print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into early 20th-century politics through its artistic portrayal of one man's determination to bring about change amidst opposition from those benefiting from existing systems.
