EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph captures the essence of British culture and history in the early 20th century. Titled "E was an Englishman, likewise his mate" this postcard print showcases a fat man accompanied by a loyal British Bulldog. The man, dressed in traditional attire with a hat, boots, and carrying a walking stick or cane, represents the iconic figure of John Bull – a personification of England itself. The image is filled with symbolism that speaks to national pride and identity. The overweight man symbolizes the stereotypical Englishman while his trusty bulldog exemplifies loyalty and companionship. This postcard serves as both an amusing depiction of everyday life at the time and as a celebration of British heritage. Interestingly, despite being labeled as an Englishman, there are references to Germany throughout the caption. It suggests that this artwork may have been created during times when relations between England and Germany were complex or strained. Overall, this historical print offers viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century Britain through its playful representation of cultural icons like John Bull and the beloved British Bulldog. It reminds us of our shared history while also highlighting some intriguing cross-cultural references within Europe at that time.
