EDITORS COMMENTS
The Howe Brothers Cartoon, 1776: A Satirical Take on Greed and Power This print captures a remarkable English cartoon comment from 1776, known as the "Howe Brothers Cartoon". The artwork humorously depicts a conference between the two influential brothers, William and Richard Howe, who were respectively commanders of the British army and navy during the American Revolutionary War. In this satirical engraving, we witness an intriguing scene where the brothers are engrossed in discussion around a table. The artist cleverly portrays their ambition for wealth by placing a large cabbage at the center of attention – symbolizing greed. This political commentary highlights how power can corrupt individuals and lead them astray from their original purpose. The caricature-like portrayal of these prominent figures adds to its charm. Commander William Howe is depicted as "Will I Am" while Admiral Richard Howe is shown as late to arrive at this meeting of minds. Through this artistic lens, we gain insight into public sentiment towards these influential men during that tumultuous time in history. This thought-provoking image belongs to Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection - an extensive collection of historical prints that offer unique perspectives on various subjects. It serves as a reminder that satire has long been used as a tool for social commentary throughout history.
