EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "On guard: dogs representing England, Scotland and Ireland" is a true testament to the rich history and national pride of the British Isles. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases three majestic canines symbolizing each country. The image portrays a bulldog embodying England's strength and resilience, a Scottish terrier exuding loyalty and determination for Scotland, and an Irish setter radiating elegance and charm for Ireland. These faithful companions stand proudly side by side, forming a united front against any potential threat. With their intense gazes fixed forward, these guard dogs epitomize the unwavering spirit of patriotism that runs deep within the hearts of Britons. The presence of the Union Jack flag waving boldly in the background further emphasizes their commitment to defending their shared values. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this postcard serves as more than just an illustration; it represents a powerful form of propaganda aimed at fostering nationalism among its viewers. It encapsulates not only Britain's historical significance but also its place within Europe as part of the European Union. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images captures both British culture and history in one frame, reminding us all of our duty to protect what we hold dear while celebrating our diverse heritage within a unified nation.
