John Mill, caricature
John Mill. Caricature of the English philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). Mill advocated utilitarianism and fought for womens suffrage. He was brought up and educated by his father, who kept him away from his peers. This he did so his son could continue his work on utilitarianism after his death. Mill was an exceptional student, by the age of three he knew the Greek alphabet and by eight had read the works of Xenophon and Isocrates. In 1819, at the age of thirteen, he was introduced to political economy, studying Adam Smith and Ricardo. Mill was later to complete their economic views of factors of production. His most famous work, published in 1859 is On Liberty

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a comical caricature of the renowned English philosopher and economist, John Stuart Mill. Known for his advocacy of utilitarianism and his tireless fight for women's suffrage, Mill's intellectual prowess was nurtured from a young age by his father who sheltered him from conventional education to ensure he could carry on the legacy of utilitarianism after his passing. Mill's exceptional intellect is highlighted in this artwork; at the tender age of three, he had already mastered the Greek alphabet, while by eight years old, he had delved into the works of Xenophon and Isocrates. At thirteen, political economy became an integral part of Mill's studies as he immersed himself in Adam Smith and Ricardo’s theories. Later on, Mill would build upon their economic views regarding factors of production. Published in 1859, Mill's most famous work "On Liberty" solidified his reputation as a liberal thinker and further cemented his place in history. This illustration captures not only the essence of John Stuart Mill but also reflects the historical context with its monochrome style reminiscent of 19th-century art. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image against a white background, it serves as a reminder that through satire and humor lies an opportunity to engage with complex ideas surrounding philosophy, economics, politics, and social progress – all areas where John Stuart Mill left an indelible mark.
