REVOLUTIONARY WAR - CARTOON. The Horse America Throwing his Master
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1779, titled "The Horse America Throwing his Master" offers a unique glimpse into the political climate surrounding the American Revolutionary War. Created by an English cartoonist, it serves as both a satirical commentary and a prediction of the war's outcome. In this whimsical yet thought-provoking image, we see a powerful horse representing America in full gallop, throwing off its rider – none other than King George III himself. The horseman is depicted with a defeated expression and clutching onto his riding crop, symbolizing British authority and control over the colonies. Through clever symbolism and sharp wit, this engraving captures the spirit of rebellion that fueled the American Revolution. It suggests that despite Britain's initial dominance, America would ultimately break free from its grasp and emerge victorious. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this historic artwork provides us with valuable insights into how events were perceived during those tumultuous times. It reminds us of the power of satire to challenge established norms and provoke change. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history buff, this print invites you to reflect upon one of humanity's most significant struggles for independence. Displayed proudly in your home or office space, it serves as a reminder that revolutions can be sparked by even the unlikeliest heroes – in this case, an indomitable horse named America overthrowing its master.
