Description
'Corn versus Chaff', 1860. John Bull represents the agricultural worker in the heat of the day working to gather the harvest so that the people may be fed through the coming winter. He is using an old fashioned scythe to cut the corn, and he has the workman's beer in the cask.There is a working-class man's wide-brimmed hat at his feet and he wipes the honest sweat from his brow with a plebian spotted handkerchief. He represents the valuable corn, and Palmerston, in gentleman's clothing, with all the unfinished business of the long parliamentary session under his arms, represents the useless chaff. John Bull remarks This is more Profitable Work than any you have been doing for some time, Old Boy. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 15, 1860.
