EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Miss Hibernia's Uneasy Dinner at John Bull's Table: A Rejection of the Proposed Irish Union" This satirical print, dated March 18, 1799, depicts a tense scene at John Bull's family dinner, where Miss Hibernia, representing Ireland, is seated uneasily amongst various taxes that would potentially be imposed on the Irish people as part of the proposed Irish Union. John Bull, symbolizing England, sits at the head of the table, surrounded by his boisterous and insatiable family members. The grotesque figure labeled "Isacc Income!!," taking more than his fair share of the meal, is reprimanded by Abraham Hat Stamp, Polly Powder Tax, and others for his excessive consumption. Miss Hibernia, wearing a dress adorned with Irish harps, looks alarmed at the size of John Bull's stomach and the seemingly insatiable appetite of his family. She expresses her concerns, stating, "Really Mr. Bull... I fear I must decline all thoughts of the intended Union - your family is so very large." The print serves as a powerful commentary on the perceived burdens and exploitation of the Irish people by the English, highlighting the potential financial and social repercussions of the proposed union. The satirical portrayal of John Bull's family as various taxes underscores the perception that the English government was imposing heavy-handed measures on the Irish population, leading Miss Hibernia to question the wisdom of the union. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and social climate of the late 18th century, as well as the complexities and tensions surrounding the Irish Union debate. It is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the relationship between England and Ireland and the ongoing struggles for self-determination and economic justice.
