Why?, from Judge Possibly 1888

"Why?", a political cartoon by Bernard Gillam, published in *Judge* magazine in 1888, satirizes the American-British relationship through a humorous dialogue between Uncle Sam and John Bull. The image depicts Uncle Sam confronting John Bull, who stands on a platform overlooking a harbor with a view of the Statue of Liberty. The caricature underscores the tension of trade policies at the time, highlighting the contradiction of American workers advocating for "Fair Trade" while English workers immigrate to America for employment. The cartoon, showcasing Gillam's signature style, reflects the political climate of the late 19th century and the growing economic interdependence between the two nations.
