This 1827 satirical print by Henry Heath, titled "The Struggle, or a long Pull, a strong Pull, and a Pull – All together," depicts the tension between Catholic and Protestant factions within the British Cabinet. The image portrays two men in a rowboat, each representing a religious group, with a unicorn and lion representing their respective faiths. The political satire is evident in the exaggerated features of the men and their actions, highlighting the struggles and conflicts of the time. This print offers a valuable glimpse into the social and political landscape of early 19th century Britain, offering a unique commentary on the tensions surrounding religious differences.
