Nicola Jennings cartoon in the Guardian referencing Gilray’s 1805 ‘Plumb-pudding in danger’ and “delivering Ukraine on a silver platter”. The most famous political cartoon of all time, still revamped, still relevant. Still bloody terrifying.
Nicola Jennings Cartoon from the Guardian, 16th Feb 2025. Shows exaggerated forms of Trump and Putin “carving” Zelenskyy’s head, which is in a silver platter. Putin has blood on his hands and utensils. Trump is wearing a soiled bib that says “Nobel Peace Prize” 1805 James Gilray Cartoon, The Plumb Pudding in danger. William Pitt on left wearing tricorn hat. Napoleon on right, wearing mad regimental feathers. Both carving up a ‘plumb pudding’ representing the globe/ particularly Europe. Pitt takes the sea, Napoleon takes the land.

Mark Titchner artwork. Red, Orange, Blue and Yellow splotches that look a bit like flowers. Bearing the legend in big white letters “it’s the hope that keeps us here”
