Columbia teaching John Bull his new lesson
Title: Columbia teaching John Bull his new lesson / S[amuel] Kennedy, del. ; Wm Charles, Sculp.
Creator(s): Charles, William, 1776-1820, artist
Date Created/Published: [Philadephia : s.n.], 1813.
Summary: A War of 1812 satire on Anglo-American and Franco-American relations. England's 'lesson' is about the seriousness of American determination to maintain freedom on the high seas, while France is warned of Yankee firmness on matters of 'Retribution' and 'Respect.' On the left, Columbia, as a maiden with staff and liberty cap, a shield with stars and stripes, and an eagle, gestures toward John Bull, saying, 'I tell you Johnny, you must learn to read Respect --Free trade -- Seamans rights &c -- As for you Mounseer Beau Napperty, when John gets his lesson by heart I'll teach you Respect -- Retribution &c. &c.' Bonaparte, standing on a hillock in the center: 'Ha-ha -- Begar me be glad to see Madam Columbia angry with dat dere Bull -- But me no learn respect -- me no learn retribution -- Me be de grand Emperor.' John Bull, in knee breeches, standing at right: 'I don't like that lesson -- I'll read this pretty lesson.' He points to the pages of a book that read, 'Power constitutes Right.' The date of circa 1813 is accepted by both Lanmon and Weitenkampf. The partnership of Samuel Kennedy and William Charles was first announced in 1813, and lasted at least until December 1814.
