'Prosperous John', 1872. Artist: Joseph Swain
'Prosperous John', 1872. John Bull is the representative of the British people and the people are being raided of their earnings through income tax. He also represents the national purse. The public is being overcharged for coal and by butchers. Finally, he represents the average husband whose pockets are emptied in order to maintain his wife in the latest fashion. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 27, 1872.
