Our Joes Happy Family - the Greatest Show on Earth
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and thought-provoking colour litho print by Harry Furniss. This artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts Joseph Chamberlain, the Leader of the Opposition during his time, surrounded by various animals representing the major dominions of the British Empire. The image serves as an anti-free trade postcard that cleverly satirizes Chamberlain's policy of Imperial Preference. With meticulous detail and artistic flair, Furniss portrays Chamberlain as a ringmaster in a circus setting, symbolizing his role in orchestrating economic policies. Each animal represents a different dominion within the British Empire: from lions to tigers, moose to kangaroos. The allegorical figures highlight Chamberlain's protectionist stance and emphasize Britain's dominance over its colonies. Through this satirical drawing, Furniss captures not only political caricature but also underlying fears and anxieties surrounding free trade versus protectionism. The ostriches represent those who bury their heads in the sand when faced with economic challenges while satire permeates every corner of this scathing commentary on politics and economics. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon historical events while contemplating contemporary issues such as Brexit or global trade disputes. It reminds us that political decisions have far-reaching consequences for nations and individuals alike. In summary, "Our Joes Happy Family - the Greatest Show on Earth" is an evocative piece that combines artistry with social commentary to provoke thought about economic policies and their impact on society.
