EDITORS COMMENTS
The Un-locked Cub: A Triumphant Kiwi Stands Tall Against the English Lion (1905) This cartoon, published in 1905, depicts a powerful New Zealand cub boldly standing up to an English lion, symbolizing the growing strength and triumphs of the Kiwi sports teams against their British counterparts. The cartoon, titled "The Un-locked Cub," is a visual representation of the spirit of competition and national pride that characterized the era. The image shows the Kiwi cub, a native New Zealand bird known for its flightless and powerful legs, locked in a fierce stare-down with the English lion. The lion, with its regal mane and imposing presence, is dwarfed by the determined cub. The caption "ca change, plus ca change" is inscribed beneath the scene, a French phrase meaning "the more things change, the more they stay the same." This phrase underscores the idea that the dynamic between the two nations, with their rich rugby histories, has remained a consistent source of competition and camaraderie. The cartoon was likely published in the aftermath of the 1905 All Blacks rugby tour of Europe, where the New Zealand team defeated every opponent, including the English national team. This tour marked a significant moment in the history of rugby and New Zealand sports, as it solidified the reputation of the All Blacks as a formidable force in international sports. The Un-locked Cub serves as a visual testament to this triumph and the enduring spirit of competition between New Zealand and England. This piece of historical cartoon art is a must-have for any collection focusing on sports history, New Zealand history, or the rich tradition of political and social commentary in cartoons.
