The Lion's Pride Shaken - The American Perspective on the Channel Tunnel Scare
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Puck magazine, artist Friedrich Graetz captures a moment of tension and apprehension in transatlantic relations. Depicting Viscount Gernet Joseph Wolseley astride a majestic lion, symbolizing Britain's reservations about the proposed Channel Tunnel, the image speaks volumes about fear and xenophobia. The lion, known for its regal demeanor and fearless nature, finds itself unable to face the crowing of a confident cockerel representing America. This juxtaposition highlights the American view of the Channel Tunnel project as an unwelcome intrusion into their own sphere of influence. As tensions rise between nations over fears of economic competition and national security risks associated with such an ambitious engineering feat, Graetz masterfully portrays these anxieties through his use of vibrant colors in this lithographic masterpiece. This thought-provoking artwork reminds us that even mighty empires can be shaken by new ideas and ventures. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at a price - challenging established norms and provoking deep-seated fears. Now preserved in private collection but accessible through Fine Art Finder, this historical illustration continues to resonate today as we navigate our own era marked by global connectivity yet plagued by persistent concerns over terrorism and prejudice.
