Peace and Plenty or Good News for John Bull!!! 1814

George Cruikshank's 1814 satirical print, "Peace & Plenty or Good News for John Bull!!!", depicts the eponymous "John Bull" as a happy and well-fed Englishman celebrating the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The caricature is part of a series of works by Cruikshank that lampooned British politics and society, often using John Bull as a symbol of the nation. The image's humorous yet critical tone reflects the social and political climate of post-war Britain, utilizing the figure of John Bull to comment on the British people's perception of peace and prosperity.
