Ce qu'on appelle le Royaume-Uni 1866

"Ce qu'on appelle le Royaume-Uni" (What is Called the United Kingdom), is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1866. The drawing depicts a caricature of the United Kingdom as a fight between John Bull (England) and a scrawny Irishman. John Bull is depicted as a stout man, while Ireland is represented as a thin and weak figure, highlighting the perceived power imbalance between England and Ireland. This satirical artwork reflects the social and political realities of the time and the ongoing tension between England and Ireland. Daumier's work is known for its incisive social commentary and use of caricature, making it a powerful tool for exploring the political and social climate of 19th-century France.
