EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous print titled "Protectionism" captures the essence of trade policies in a comical way. Created by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this postcard is a delightful mix of wit and satire. The image showcases a scene where two men, representing England and Germany, are dressed in elaborate suits of armor made entirely out of playing cards. The Englishman proudly wears his suit adorned with symbols of free trade, while the German counterpart dons a suit covered in tariffs and protectionist measures. It's a clever visual representation of the ongoing debate between these two nations during that time. The attention to detail is remarkable as each card meticulously forms part of their armors, highlighting traditional armor designs from both countries. This playful artwork not only entertains but also serves as social commentary on economic policies prevalent at that period. The artist's signature "Dudley" adds authenticity to this unique piece. With its origins traced back to Birmingham, England – known for its manufacturing prowess – it reflects the witty humor often associated with British culture. Whether you appreciate history or simply enjoy amusing art prints, this postcard offers a lighthearted perspective on protectionism versus free trade policies. A true gem from Bridgeman Images' private collection!
